Intriguing ingredients... Fashion-forward color combo... Urban-chic name: "Squid-Ink Pasta with Pink Gorgonzola Sauce." This recipe sets up high expectations immediately -- and the dish delivers deliciously. The hardest part about preparing this is finding squid-ink pasta, which of course, tastes nothing like squid. It's worth the effort, though -- sans black pasta, it's just Pasta with Pink Sauce. (A rich, full-bodied pink sauce, admittedly ... but the dish just won't present as dramatically as it can.) That said ... some people (like my dear, but daunted dad) simply will not accept unusually colored food, no matter how tasty. In that case, you might want to go the uncolored pasta route, and dress the plate up with, say, fan-shaped strawberry garnishes or a little unexpected something else. When I make this dish again, I might stir in some pine nuts for texture, but otherwise, wouldn't change a thing. And that includes the pasta color! ;)

This was really tasty and very easy to make. I only changed three things. 1) I didn't have shallots so I used onion chopped very fine instead. 2) I used a sodium free chicken bouillion packet in a cup of water in replace of the chicken stock. 3)I only had a 5 oz package of gorgonzola cheese. But it was enough even though the recipe called for 8 ozs.

I couldn't find squid ink pasta at the grocery store so I used regular bowtie pasta. Despite this change, it was amazing!! Sprinkled it with some shredded Italian blend cheese and watched it disappear!

Yummy, Great flavor, I used Vegetable broth because that was all I had around the house. It was a bit salty, so I would use low sodium broth next time. I also did not find or use squid ink pasta, I used whole wheat pasta and it was perfect. Thanks, this is now one of my favorites.

Really a delicious sauce! I didn't stress myself out by trying to find the black pasta...mainly because my kids would have freaked! It was a tad bit salty for my taste,,,must have been the gorgonzola...I may scale back a bit on that next time,,but we loved it! Thanks!

VERY good pasta. I had rave reviews when I made it. Some of the ingredients CAN be hard to find. However- if anyone lives near a SuperTarget I found both the squid ink pasta and the fresh basil there.
