zofhia, no, unfortunately, I have never made squid ink pasta from scratch, however, I would imagine it is just a standard pasta recipe, with the addition of several teaspoons of bottled squid ink…

first time i was able to buy squip ink pasta was at the Leonardo Da Vinci airport in italy…i love them so much…when i got back home in the states, i can’t find one in any grocery or italian deli… the ones they’re selling online are very expensive…one time, i was buying some stuff at the Cost Plus World Market, and there, along with other european goodies, squid ink fettucine and spaghetti…i usually use sundried tomatoes because they go well with the strong fish flavor…

CecileJ, they are green lipped farm raised mussels from New Zealand. Sold frozen and on the half shell. When I can’t find trustworthy local mussels, I get these… pricier, but reliable.

Looks yummy! What mussels did you use? They don’t look like the regular tahong found in the wet market.

max, thanks for the link, it's great! Kaye, yes, you can buy bottled squid ink, I think I have apost on a bottle in my archives... Mandy, the scallops would be a good addition, not just because of taste and texture but color contrast with the black and red. For all, here is a similar recipe but with prawns and pancetta...

I love this squid ink pastas, it really looks good and gives a nice contrast to seafood and veggies. . . abstaining like this could cost a lot than eating pork chops or bistek and rice. . . hehehe
