Crab and Garlic Cream Squid Ink Pasta

While the black colored pasta looks a little dark and creepy, it tastes anything but. This dish is on the lighter side, but still filling.

This recipe couldn’t be more simple, yet it has so much flavor. The lump crab and squid ink pasta are coated in the lightest garlic cream sauce that complement each other so well. It’s a dish you can have on the table in less than 30 minutes, but the presentation looks like you spent a lot longer. You can double the cream sauce if you like something thicker, but I really like the squid ink pasta and fresh crab to shine on their own.
