It’s the height of the holiday season and I’m definitely savoring it!  The annual New Years’ chaos is in my near future, but in the mean time this dark pleasure awaits – creamy garlic black pasta with clams and octopus is as easy as it gets for an impressive dish to treat yourself or your guests.
The pasta is tossed with fried octopus and clams, accompanied with samphire and chili flakes, nesting in a pool of garlic sauce infused with herbs. The sauce is creamy yet completely lightweight and extremely silky.
Your taste buds will find an excessive happiness in the delicate flavors of this black pasta. It enhances this dish both visually and in terms of flavor. Enjoy, I hope you have some exciting New Year’s plans with friends and family, hopefully of which will involve delicious food!

    You have just reminded me it’s ages since we had samphire. I must look out for it next time I am shopping. My wee boy loves it.

    Love your photographs. They look dark and brooding, but in a thoroughly delicious way 😀 I haven’t had samphire in a very long time, but it’s such good stuff.

    This is such a pretty dish! I do like samphire and it goes so well with seafood, although I can’t eat the shellfish due to allergies I wish I could.
