Squid Ink Linguine with Dungeness Crab
🦑 🦑 🦀 🦀
Garlic Butter, Lemon, Parmesan, Parsley
Using squid ink pasta instead of traditional pasta elevates this crab dish both in flavor and presentation. The pasta brings a subtle briny, umami-rich note that echoes the natural sweetness of Dungeness crab without overpowering it. It creates a deeper, more cohesive seafood profile — like a quiet reminder of the ocean in every bite. Paired with garlic butter and a touch of lemon zest, the squid ink adds complexity while letting the crab remain the star.
Visually, the contrast between the inky black pasta and the delicate coral-hued crab meat is striking. It transforms a simple plate of pasta into something elegant and memorable — perfect for a special dinner or a bold twist on a classic.
