pasta squink: boon or bane

my cuzz k got us some good pasta sauces from somewhere she only knows. we got to try them and the most fun is the black ink pasta.

it was my wife who asked for it and she's been very eager to prepare one at home. she's been seeing them on cable and tv shows and this is now her time to make one.

i boiled some pasta al dente. i saw my wife really excited and can't wait to prepare the sauce.


we opened the pack and got a sachet. inside is the prepared squid ink. no other packs of mixed spices are included.

in a nice bowl, my wife placed enough steaming pasta. we mixed the black sauce with the pasta. yeah! this is going to be good. the nice appetizing aroma seized the air.


but on each second my wife mixes the pasta with the black ink, pictures of slimy wriggly black worms clouded her imagination. the scent of fresh pasta was immediately sucked up by the attack of the mental imagery of larval dynamism masking the appetite for a warm homey dinner.

bummer. my wife immediately stopped mixing the pasta, left the dinner table quietly and just went inside the bedroom alone and cold.

there goes the pasta. but the pasta was good. my wife just got confused on what was served on the plate. i continued from where she left. i added some parmesan and topped with fresh coriander leaves. pasta was great and finished all of it. i recommend the pasta for people who has no phobia on worms. it was awesome!
