In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and semolina flour, creating a well in the center.
Crack the eggs into the well and add the squid ink.
Using a fork, beat the eggs, gradually incorporating the flour from the sides of the well until a sticky dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Divide the dough into four pieces.
Using a pasta machine, roll each piece of dough into thin sheets, gradually reducing the thickness setting.
Cut the sheets into the desired pasta shape, such as fettuccine or tagliatelle. Dust with flour to prevent sticking.
To make the sauce, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Slice the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet, cooking until they are golden and fragrant.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the skillet, cooking until they begin to soften.
Pour in the white wine, allowing it to reduce slightly.
Add sea salt and black pepper to the sauce.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until al dente.
Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the sauce.
Toss the pasta in the sauce to coat well.
Chop the parsley and add it to the pasta, tossing to combine.
Serve the pasta with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
