Ingredients
  

  • 200 g semolina flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon squid ink
  • Pinch of salt

Method
 

  1. Get the dough ready: Mix the flour and salt in a large mixing dish. Create a well in the center and add the eggs and squid ink. Gradually mix the ingredients, kneading until a smooth dough forms.
  2. Rest the Dough: Cover the dough with a moist cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.
  3. Roll and Cut: Roll the dough out into thin sheets using a pasta machine or rolling pin. Cut the sheets into spaghetti strands by hand or with a pasta cutter.
  4. Prepare the pasta: Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the black pasta for 2-3 minutes until al dente. Drain and serve immediately with your preferred sauce.

Notes

Use fresh squid ink for the most authentic color and flavor. Enjoy with a seafood sauce for a truly luxurious dish.
