Jeeves, I think it was sent to me by my sister. I suppose a good bet would be Dean & Deluca, Whole Foods, Citarella or perhaps other higher end stores… Alternatively, you could make it by doing a regular pasta recipe then coloring it with bottled squid ink (I have a post on squid ink somewhere in the archives).

Love the recipe idea, and I’d very much like to try it; however, I’ve been looking for black pasta for a long time, but it appears to be quite a rare find in NYC.

Do you know which stores sell it? Many thanks.

helena, unfortunately, the black noodles or squid ink pasta, was purchased in New York. However, if you really want it, you can make pasta from scratch and add bottled or fresh squid ink. Alternatively, you may want to check Terry’s selection or Santis or Bacchus for the dried black pasta.

Roselyn,glad to oblige. Maria Clara, the pancetta (a really special smoked version I carted back in hand-carry) was really good with the prawns! Doddie, your ingredients sound like they would make a great pasta dish! Gigi, it doesn’t pass the South Forbes low carb diet guidelines however…

I will summon the cosmic powers of the universe to conspire and throw good karma your way :) …but first, where did you buy it pls? many thanks in advance :)

It is a great break from marinara and pesto sauces. You used all the superb ingredients so the end product came out wonderful. The way you arranged your ingredients, they were kept in individual plates â€“ you really fired up the stove! The prawns alone are great by themselves with the addition of the pancetta, squid ink and the pasta you flared it up. Nice job!!!!

I’ve got prawns and bacon in my fridge. I’ll have to substitute the squid ink pasta and the chopped basil. All I got is fettucine and dried basil. :(

Good heavens! You are outdoing yourself with each post, MM! The dish looks sublime.
