Mix the semolina and salt together. On a large work surface, form a mound  
with the semolina and create a "well" in the center of the mound. In a small  
bowl, beat the eggs, squid ink and oil together until smooth. Pour this  
mixture into the well. Working from the inside of the well out, gradually  
work the semolina into the eggs, until all the flour is worked in. Wrap with  
plastic and allow to rest in the refrigerator for 30 to 40 minutes. Remove  
from the refrigerator and temper for 5 minutes. Flour a surface and turn the  
dough out onto it. Roll out the dough to 1/2 of an inch thick. Cut the dough  
out into thirds. Using a pasta machine, wide cutters, carefully work one  
piece of the pasta dough through the pasta machine. Lightly toss the cut  
pasta in flour to prevent from sticking. Pass the remaining pieces of pasta  
through the machine. Bring a pot of salt water to a boil. In a hot saute  
pan, add the cream. Over high heat, reduce the cream by half, about 5  
minutes. Stir in the grated cheeses and season with salt and pepper.  
Continue to simmer the sauce until it coats the back of a spoon, about 2 to  
3
minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside. Drop the pasta in the boiling  
water and cook for 3 minutes, or until the pasta is tender. Drain the pasta  
and turn into the cream sauce. Turn the pasta/cream mixture into a mixing  
bowl. Add the tomatoes, green onions, and fried calamari. Toss to  
incorporate all the ingredients. To assemble, divide the pasta between four  
bowls. Garnish with chopped parsley and grated cheese. This recipe yields 1  
pound of pasta, or 4 main−dish servings.
