Black Squid Ink Fettuccine by Antica Pasta

Squid ink gives this versatile pasta its deep black hue and rich flavor, with a hint of sea saltiness. The savory properties of squid ink come from its high content of glutamate, an umami compound, which makes this pasta exceptionally flavorful, perfect for pairing with seafood or a light tomato sauce. Three siblings, Gabriele, Barbara and Attilio, learned the antique craft of pasta making from their grandmother Adelina, before opening their first artisanal pasta workshop in Campofilone. Today, Antica Pasta by Marcozzi of Campofilone continues to bring love and care to the craft, producing exquisite handmade egg pasta using select all-Italian ingredients, non-GMO Italian wheat and local, free-range eggs. They are one of 7 original producers from Campofilone, a small town in Le Marche with an antique pasta tradition dating back to the 1400s.
