King Prawns with Ink Squid Pasta



I inherited a packet of ink squid pasta a few weeks back and have been deciding what I should do.
Buy squid+ink and go the traditional ?
Then I remembered a recipe I once saw on Kuidadore. A King Prawn with Ink Squid Pasta. Although, she made her own pasta.

At the end of the day though, J said the pasta wasn't good, it felt like we were eating rubber bands. Hah. Maybe next time I will make my own pasta.

If you are keen to try this recipe, I suggest using linguine or spaghetti.

King Prawns with Ink Squid Pasta [Serves 2]

Ingredients:

Method:
1. Cook pasta till almost al dente.
2. Heat the pan with little olive oil and smoke it. Add prawns and fry briefly with garlic and chilli.
3. Add white wine.
4. Add hot pasta and either some of the water from which you cooked the pasta or some stock ( preferably shellfish)
5. Toss everything, season and serve with freshly chopped pasley and cheese.
