hey, katiek. thanks for checking us out!

as for squid ink pasta, i would have definitely remembered if the pasta tasted soggy or over-cooked. DEFINITELY would have remembered. there’s nothing i hate more than over-cooked pasta. i’m wondering what type of pasta you had – was it a linguine, spaghetti? not sure why that would matter, but maybe you should give it another try. we will too and i’ll get back to you with all of this in mind!

i’m looking at your blog to see if you posted about the batali dish – egg in a nest – you’re totally right that it is a bit too close to the source. ha ha! hope to “read” you again here soon.

Hey there, great site!

I tried out the squid ink pasta too (making carbonara batalis style.. with the yolk perched in the noods like an egg in a nest… perhaps a little too close to the source symbolically). Did you find that the pasta had less of an al dente texture? Less of that bite?

I couldn’t figure out if (a) I boiled it wrong (which may be embarrassing) (b) used old pasta or (c) squid ink just rolls that way.
Nevertheless, this looks really inviting. I’ve never gotten into parsnips, but perhpas I will give it a try.

This looks gorgeous with the color contrast. I am actually watching Jamie Oliver right now . I used to think he was irritating, but I have come around.

Now there’s a twist for a pasta dish…parsnip! I like squid ink pasta with a zesty tomato sauce…or roasted red peppers….that’ll evoke some F-ing good times.

I like parsnips. I like pasta. It would never occur for me to put together. But I’m liking this.

Don at Mr. Orph’s kitchen have sat in his living room, drooling over everything Jamie made in one particular episode. I think even the guys can dig him, he’s so cool. I like his live appearances also. The dish look amazing. Something Id try for myself!

The black pasta with the parsnips is striking! Fabulous dish!
I like how you write the recipe: “kill” the fire and “hit” the dish.

I always eye the squid ink pasta at the grocery store but don’t know what to do with it. Sounds like a great recipe.
