Did you know? cuttlefish ink
Cuttlefish ink is a defense mechanism in this animal. It not only gives a black color to the pasta but also a little iodine taste.
Perfect for making a spooky dish on the night of October 31, cuttlefish ink linguine also pairs well with fish and seafood like Scallops or shrimp.
