Fancy a lunch as dark as your soul? Try some black pasta. It gets its colour from squid ink and is traditionally paired with or filled with seafood.

We bought the Cod and Broccolleti Squid Ink Mezzelune from Tesco's Finest range, and served it with a creamy-coloured sauce (with bacon bits). Yes, I was thinking of how it would look in the photos when we picked the sauce, but luckily it tasted pretty nice too. The pasta is currently priced at £3.00 for 250g or it can sometimes be bought as part of a meal deal.
