Squid Ink Pasta

Recommended Posts

I am planning to make some squid ink pasta. Does anyone have any tips as far as how much ink to use? Also, any tricks for insuring that it won't turn my guest's teeth black?? (This happened to me in a restaurant -- NOT a good look).

I didn't find that it was much in the way of flavor; more a color/visual thing when you mix it in with the pasta.

Go easy on the amount you put in; like bbq says 2 teaspoons at the most would be enough. It's very potent. Make sure you don't work the dough on a surface that stains easily/permanently and have flour on hand.

Wouldn't it be easier to first mix the ink with the eggs and then knead it into the dough? That way, you don't have to worry about staining.
