What is this Thai dish?

According to TasteAtlas.com, one of the most popular spaghetti meals that uses squid ink is Spaghetti Al Nero De Seppie, a traditional Sicilian dish. This glossy, midnight-hued meal is made by tossing pasta in a sauce made of squid or other seafood, garlic, olive oil, white wine, and squid ink. The dough has ink added to it, and it is also offered dried. Although it has a remarkable presentation, squid ink spaghetti doesn't have as much flavour as one may anticipate. Squid ink's flavour is distinct but not strong because it is normally used rarely.
