About Pasta with squid ink

Pasta with squid ink is a striking dish originating from Italian and Mediterranean cuisines. The noodles are infused with squid ink, giving them a dramatic black color and a mild, briny flavor reminiscent of the sea. Typically paired with seafood such as shrimp, calamari, or clams, it may also include garlic, olive oil, chili, or white wine for a vibrant and balanced taste. Squid ink itself is rich in antioxidants like melanin and contains essential minerals such as iron, which can support immune health. Pasta provides a source of carbohydrates for energy, while seafood contributes lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids beneficial for heart health. However, the dish's sodium content can be high due to added salt and the natural salinity of squid ink and other seafood. Moderation and fresh ingredients can make pasta with squid ink a flavorful yet mindful dining option.
