Garlic Squid Ink Pasta

Recipe by Connie Veneracion
Cooked a la San Francisco-style garlic noodles, a Vietnamese-American dish born in Thanh Long Restaurant, squid ink pasta takes the place of Asian egg noodles in this recipe.
Enjoy as a side dish or as a snack, this butter-rich garlic squid ink pasta is best garnished with sliced chilies, scallions and grated pecorino. Drizzle with lime or lemon juice before digging in.
