This recipe is a great way to use up leftover calamari. The pasta is flavorful and the ink gives it a unique twist.

I made this pasta with some leftover calamari and it was delicious. The ink gave the pasta a beautiful black color.

I'm not a huge fan of seafood, but I really enjoyed this pasta. The calamari ink gave it a subtle flavor that was not overpowering.

This pasta was a disappointment. The flavor was not good and the texture was rubbery.

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but this pasta was not it. The flavor was bland and the texture was mushy.
