Club del Gourmet Tonnarelli Nero di Sepia – Squid Ink Pasta 500g

This striking black pasta gets its colour and subtle briny character from squid ink, transforming a simple Italian shape into something theatrical and flavourful. Club del Gourmet sources this tonnarelli—a squared spaghetti—for cooks who want more than everyday wheat. The delicate earthiness of the ink pairs naturally with seafood, cream, or a bold tomato sauce.

About this product

Tonnarelli is traditionally made in Rome and Lazio, and this version respects that heritage while adding the umami depth of nero di sepia. The pasta is firm enough to hold olive oil and sauce without breaking, and the ink's mineral notes elevate simple ingredients into something restaurant-worthy. Club del Gourmet, El Corte Inglés's gourmet line, selects products that reward curiosity in the kitchen.

How to enjoy

• Dress simply with white wine butter, garlic, and a squeeze of lemon.
• Toss with fresh scallops or langoustines and a splash of their cooking liquor.
• Combine with a tomato-based sauce and finish with parmesan.
• Serve as a dramatic first course alongside grilled fish or squid.

⭐ Why we love this

Club del Gourmet's nero di sepia tonnarelli brings the drama of Spanish seafood tradition to the Roman pasta table—squid ink is quintessential to coastal Spanish cooking, and here it deepens the pasta's minerality without overpowering delicate fish and shellfish. This is theatre with substance: the black colour isn't mere spectacle, it's an edible expression of the sea.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Serve with a crisp Albariño or a mineral-driven Verdejo to echo the briny squid ink character, or pair with a dry Prosecco for a lighter touch. As a main course, it shines alongside grilled langostinos or fresh scallops; as a starter, it commands the table before a simply roasted white fish.

📍 From Spain

Sourced from Club del Gourmet, El Corte Inglés's premium selection that champions Spanish artisanal producers and ingredients. The squid ink itself reflects Spain's deep seafood heritage—nero di sepia is a cornerstone of Galician and Mediterranean coastal cooking, where it's been used for centuries in everything from paella negra to traditional seafood pastas.
