About Black pasta

Black Pasta, often tinted with squid or cuttlefish ink, is a visually striking dish originating from Italian and Mediterranean cuisines. The ink not only gives the pasta its deep, black hue but also infuses it with a subtle briny flavor, reminiscent of the sea. Typically paired with seafood, garlic, and olive oil, the dish delivers a complexity of tastes rooted in coastal traditions. Nutritionally, black pasta contains protein from the ink but is otherwise similar to regular pasta, offering carbohydrates as a primary energy source. Squid ink is noted for its antioxidant properties and may contain beneficial minerals like iron and selenium. However, like other pastas, it can be high in calories, especially when served with rich sauces. For a balanced option, pair it with lean proteins, vegetables, and olive oil-based dressings to enhance its health profile while maintaining its gourmet appeal.
