The flavour of squid ink linguine is easier to work with than I thought, so do not let it intimidate you. This recipe is delicious, easy to put together and definitely makes you look like a pro. The colors of this recipe makes it very visually appealing.
I combined this linguine with shrimp fried in butter and garlic. Now that is a match made in heaven 🙂
