Our October Black Noodles (or Rustichella Tonnarelli al Nero di Seppia) are back!
A fan favorite for the season, it creates a naturally dramatic, jet-black “witch’s hair” canvas that makes an effortlessly gothic, gourmet Halloween dinner.
Why It Works for Halloween:
- Deep Black Color: Infused with cuttlefish ink, the noodles have a striking, light-absorbing black appearance.
- Grown-Up Spookiness: Unlike artificial dyes, it offers a rich, briny taste and high-end artisan texture for an adult Halloween dinner party.
- Fast Prep: The pasta cooks in just 8 to 10 minutes.
Spooky Serving Suggestions:
- Witch’s Hair & Garlic Oil: Toss the black tonnarelli with extra-virgin olive oil, lots of minced garlic, chili flakes, and a splash of dry white wine to keep “vampires at bay”
- Orange Seafood Contrast: Top the dark noodles with bright orange-tinted seafood like medium shrimp or scallops with roe to mimic a haunting color scheme
- Eyeball Accents: Garnish with mini mozzarella balls and sliced black olives arranged to look like staring eyes, or pair with a rich garlic-pancetta sauce
Grab them at the deli before they’re gone!
