From the Test Kitchen

At the heart of tonight’s gourmet, easy-to-make dish is subtly briny squid ink pasta, which brings out the flavor of our shrimp and eagerly soaks up the umami notes of our soy- and sesame-based sauce. A sprinkling of furikake—a savory mix of dried seaweed, chile flakes and sesame seeds—lends another flavorful dimension to the dish, complemented by the seasonal addition of sweet green cabbage.

While the pasta continues to cook, in a large, high-sided pan (or pot), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the garlic and white bottoms of the scallions.
