Squid ink pasta is a visually striking, jet-black pasta infused with squid or cuttlefish ink, a staple in Mediterranean and Italian cuisine. Made from traditional pasta dough—wheat flour, eggs, and water—the addition of squid ink provides a briny, umami-rich flavor and a dramatic appearance. Squid ink is a natural source of antioxidants, which may help combat inflammation and oxidative stress. Additionally, the pasta itself offers energy from complex carbohydrates and some protein. However, it can be high in calories depending on portion size and any rich sauces served alongside. Its sodium content may also increase due to the ink and accompanying ingredients. Best enjoyed in moderation, squid ink pasta can be an adventurous addition to a balanced diet, especially when paired with fresh seafood or vegetables for a nutrient-rich meal inspired by coastal culinary traditions.
