Beautiful black pasta
for a First Course
Dinner
Party or anytime....
I
think this black squid ink course is so special because of the unique
colors
of the pink shrimp contrasting with black and the white garlic
cream sauce ...
I like to make different things for my guests,
not many have ever tasted black squid ink pasta.
It is sometimes hard to find, super markets usually do not carry
it,
I found it at a gourmet deli in Portland Oregon and
just recently ordered it online living here in Tucson Arizona

In a skillet over medium high heat melt butter, sauté garlic and shallots for 2 minutes; add

Twirl the black squid ink pasta strands around a long-tined fork, slide off the fork onto the sauced
plates. Add shrimp, Parmesan cheese, chives and serve this
