Just saw this online... and it freaked me out!
Has anyone tried it? I know that the taste is the same but the look is

It looks like worms

Looks gross to me! A specialty store around my place sells beautiful black and white pasta, along with some rainbow colored bows and shells. But I think they're prettier in lovely pots than on a plate!!!

thats what i thought!! Grosssssssss

i thought that too - would be ok for a hallowe'en meal though

Disgusting! I wouldn't even try it as the look of it, especially right now, makes me gag!

Is that the one that's dyed with octopus ink? I remember seeing something like that on tv before.. x

My DH would like i've gone mad if I served that for dinner!!!!! Yikes!

it really does look like worms id have to have some really good sauce with that... how is it dyed that color?

Traditionally it's dyed with octopus ink. I've had it in Spain and Italy, actually my grandmother-in-law gave us some, which I cooked with seafood, it's a delicacy but doesn't really taste any different.
Must say ours didn't look as gross as those pictures, think because ours was much much thinner strands, those do look like worms!
