Dress up your plate for All Hallows’ Eve with spooky squid in spaghetti with crab and bottarga! Don't let the seafood scare you - Halloween won’t get any more delicious than this! This is a quick, easy recipe ready in minutes from our very own Chef Lorenzo Boni. This recipe uses a medley of seafood such as shrimp, crab meat, squid ink, and bottarga. Bottarga is the part of a fish - typically a grey mullet or a bluefin tuna - that holds the roe and is salted, dried, and pressed. We suggest that you cook the seafood just enough to keep it nice and juicy but cooked through. Squid ink does not require much cooking time either, just bring to simmer and it’s good to go! Check out this video from Chef Lorenzo for a visual tutorial - Happy Halloween everyone!
