Squid Ink Spaghetti With Seafood Ragù

I’ve always been a huge fan of squid ink pasta, so when I finally found the squid ink spaghetti at one of my favorite grocery stores in LA,  I’ve decided to make a dish that reminds me the colors and flavors of the Italian summer : Spaghetti al Nero di Seppia con Ragù di Mare (Squid Ink Spaghetti with Seafood Ragù). This is a very simple dish, tasty, healthy and visually appealing. For the seafood ragù I’ve used fresh squid tubes and raw prawns.
