My little lady favourite, Italian and infuse seafood pasta. Already have it several time now, at first honestly I am not really interested to this dishes. My husband are frequent traveller related to his job, every time he visiting some place he always have the story about this Nero pasta, seem to be every time he stopping by at some place he always have this dishes on his list, it make me curious about the taste, and questioning why he was so eager to try this dishes, okay time to hustle for me *haha too much for words

Since I don’t know the basic taste of this Nero pasta, I am playing safe with the recipe, this time I am not asking the google what recipe that suit to this pasta, I just used my basic pasta recipe that just contain simple garlic, shallot and spicy cayenne pepper, and it work so beautiful *muachhhh, and it just too beautiful so far, I don’t want to try any other recipe just Yet. The pasta itself just taste wonderful with a hint of ocean taste and more intensified with sea salt that used during boiling it. Some time just simple thing is what make everything so classy and sophisticated, after several time cooking this recipe I want to scream and shout to myself “Why I cooking so good” haha inspired by  Gennaro Contaldo, I love the personality of this man so much, with his Italian charm, on my bad day watching him always give me good amount of laugh and inspiration, I love funny man with good sense of humour and sometime you need appreciate and praising yourself *you done a good job baby, yeahhh 😉

Okay back to the recipe, so far I paired this recipe with braised squid (I’ll write the recipe in another post), enjoy as it was and the latest was paired it with French recipe Encornet Farcis (Stuff Squid), squid and squid since my little lady really love love it and asking to cooked it in any other different recipe. Also I want to enjoy it with Shrimp scampi but still don’t have time to make it, hmmm.
