Muy bueno

I fell in love with fresh black squid ink pasta when I first visited Venice, but in the U.S., I can only find the dried version. I decided to try this to make my own fresh black spaghetti -- and the pasta not only tasted great but looked dramatic on the plate. I tossed mine with grape tomato compote (recipe from the NY Times) and jumbo lump crabmeat. The version I had in Venice used lobster, but that's more difficult and more expensive than even premium crab.You don't need to use much. My pasta recipe called for 1 tsp. per 250 grams of flour -- I added a little more. The flavor is a little briny but not fishy, although it smells stronger in the jar. It ends up being a mild, almost delicate taste with some saltiness.Since it's not clear to me how long the ink will last in the refrigerator, I made several batches of pasta and froze some of it. The jar says that it will last until the expiration date, but since that's over a year from now, I don't trust it. Instead, I plan to use as much as I can over the next two weeks. Risotto is next!-- Debbie Lee Wesselmann

This squid ink gives me the ability to be super creative in the kitchen! We make our own pasta, so squid ink pasta was a hit. We make our own pizza, black pizza was also a hit. We have yet to bake with this, but it will be happening in the near future! This doesn't really alter the taste of the dish so it's a great option to add a little extra to the plate. The serving is about 5g of ink mixed into the dish per 100g of food. This will last a couple more meals. I prefer the jar instead of the individual packets, cuts down on our waste.

A little goes a long way. It's a great product for coloring pasta.

Boo. Very expensive and came damaged. There is no way to return it or get my money back. But I will say, it's definitley fishy and definitely BLACK! I'm just bummed I couldn't use it... crushed glass and stuff!

Don’t. Dont.
