Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Aromatic squid ink is used to color this classic fresh egg pasta and give it a silky black hue. But while it may smell strong, the resulting noodles are relatively neutral in flavor.

Detailed explanation-2: -Squid ink, which is also available from the Cuddlefish (related to the Squid family), is added to the water and dough as pasta is made, creating very black colored pasta. This ink provides a salty and somewhat sweet flavor as an ingredient and coloring to the pasta.

Detailed explanation-3: -You can find the ink sac among the innards of the squid. It looks like a black vein that is thin and silvery and you can easily remove it with your fingernail. If you feel that it’s too fragile for your fingers, carefully slip the tip of your knife under the vein and cut away at the ends from the centre.
