  • Author: Susan
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

– 400g spaghetti
– 100g squid ink
– 300g fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 200g mussels, cleaned and debearded
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 1/2 cup dry white wine
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
– Lemon wedges (for serving)


Instructions

Creating Black Squid Ink Spaghetti is easy when you follow these steps:

1. Cook the Spaghetti: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.
2. Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
3. Add Seafood: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp and mussels to the skillet. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and the mussels open up, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Deglaze with Wine: Pour in the dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
5. Incorporate Squid Ink: Stir in the squid ink, mixing well to coat the seafood. If the sauce is too thick, add some of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
6. Combine with Pasta: Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet, tossing it gently with the seafood and sauce until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Serve: Remove from heat and plate the spaghetti. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

By following these steps, you’ll create a dish that not only tastes amazing but also looks incredible on the plate!
