Recipe | Squid Ink Pasta with Mushroom, Lemon, Chilli and Garlic

By 8:40 AM , , ,


I've been reading about, and seeing squid ink pasta a bit and was keen to try it, so when browsing Salt, Meats, Cheese over the weekend I couldn't help but buy a packet. Not having a recipe in mind, I decided to make one up. Wanting the pasta to be the star, I chose not to make a heavy sauce. It was pretty funny boiling the pasta, as the colour runs so ends up being a bubbling pot of black liquid. Once cooked the pasta got very sticky but once the sauce is mixed in its all good.




 Ingredients
  • 150 gm Black Squid Linguine
  • 3 tbs Olive Oil
  • 1 tbs Minced Garlic
  • 2 tbs Lemon Juice
  • 3/4 cup Sliced Mushroom
  • 1 tsp Dried Chilli Flakes
  • 1 tbs Breadcrumbs
  • t tsp Washed Capers
  • 1 tbs Butter
  • To taste Salt and pepper
Cooking Directions
  1. Cook Linguine as per instructions
  2. Heat up oil, add garlic and breadcrumbs. Fry up for 2 minutes on low heat.
  3. Mix in butter, mushrooms, chilli, salt and pepper. Continue cooking for 5 minutes.
  4. Add capers and lemon juice. Take off heat once mixed through.
  5. Throw in the cooked pasta, mix the sauce through and serve!

    1. Haha no squidy taste! It really doesn't have a strong flavour so if people are offput by that, they shouldn't be!

  8. Hi! I adore squid ink pasta and order it whenever it's on a menu. If I find black squid linguine, you can be sure I'd buy a pack to try! I always thought you had to get the liquid and make it yourself. This looks fantastic with the garlic and mushrooms!
