There don't seem to be any *Italian* grocery stores where I live and the
only possibility to find pasta flavored with squid ink seems to be
import stores. So far, the only type I have found has been in mixed bags
of varicolored leaf-shaped pasta where a few of the pieces were black.
The ingredients did list "cuttlefish ink" but a bag cost an arm and a
leg!
