Cuttlefish ink sauce, the recipe.
Just a few years ago I tasted some pasta seasoned with cuttlefish ink and I must say that I fell in love with it.
So, together with the help of my mother (an excellent cook), we tried to make it at home and I must say that the result was very good.

Ingredients:
– a couple of whole cuttlefish
– onion
– garlic
– oil
– white wine
– salt
– tomato puree

Preparation:
Take the cleaned cuttlefish (an operation that the fishmonger can almost always do for you, taking care to keep the small sac containing the ink that we will need almost at the end of the preparation) and cut them into strips and pieces.
Separately, in a pan, fry the chopped onion and garlic in olive oil.
When the soffritto is golden brown, add the cuttlefish strips and, after having sautéed them for a few seconds, blend with the white wine.
The alcohol in the wine will quickly evaporate and then add the tomato puree and a pinch of salt.
Cook for about fifteen minutes, stirring occasionally.
At this point, and just a few minutes before the pasta is cooked, add the ink by cutting into the small sacs previously left aside and mixing them with the rest of the tomato.

At this point just add the pasta to the pan and sauté it to enjoy this sauce!

Be careful: the black stains everything! I recommend placing the two bags directly in the pan and cutting them there to avoid a mess.
