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.

- Drain and immediately place hot pasta in mixing bowl with butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, and pepper. Add kosher salt to taste.
