Cuttlefish in Tomato Sauce
In the past when housewives prepared this dish, they used to keep the ink bag of the cuttlefish and add it to the sauce, giving it a fine color and a wonderful taste. You are more than welcome to do the same, though it means that you must clean the cuttlefish with great care so as not to burst the ink bag!
