Squid ink pasta

Yep, going to try it! I ordered it on line because I could NOT find it anywhere locally. It came all the way from Spain. I ordered four packages. Each package contained four little packets.
It's said that squid ink pasta "tastes of the sea" and that it needs only olive oil and garlic with a sprinkling of parmesan.
I tasted just a bit, it REALLY DOES taste a bit salty and of the sea. I used two little packets per batch. I've mixed two batches of dough and am letting them rest. More to come. See the pics. The last pic is the pasta rolled and cut to linguini size. Smells wonderful! This is just the first batch. I need to let they dry before starting the next batch.

So, I'm commenting on my own post. The squid ink pasta was given as part of Christmas presents last night. We'll see how they fare.
