A dramatic yet delicious dish that is perfect for a holiday dinner or any other special occasion.

Why try? A simple-to-prepare black pasta dish topped with black caviar, drenched in butter and scented with fresh lemon. Its stunning visual appearance will wow your guests.

Foodie Byte: Squid ink is added to the dough to give black pasta its very black color. This ink provides a salty and somewhat sweet flavor so be sure to taste before salting.

  • Zest and juice of 2 lemons
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Good black caviar, as needed
