Black spaghetti at La Pietra Cucina

Pasta infused with squid ink is tossed with rock shrimp, scallions and hot calabrese sausage, inspired by one of Mario Batali’s best-known dishes. The velvety noodles temper the slight sting. All in all, this dish is more intense than a codependent relationship. You’ll love it even when it hurts. $18.
