I made this some time ago, but have never made it to the blog. Thought I'd publish it here as it is quite an amazing treat. Fresh pasta cooks very quickly, but like most things one needs a fair bit of practice to make the pasta-making process a less tedious one.
fresh chocolate pasta
(serves 2 for an afternoon treat, maybe 4 for dessert, as this can be quite filling!)100g type 00 flour
25g coco powder (preferably dutch cocoa)
20g icing sugar
pinch of salt
1 large egg
a good glug of extra virgin olive oil
Mix the ingredients by hand (use your fingers as a whisk!) and knead lightly until it becomes a smooth pliable dough. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for about an hour and a half.
After the dough has rested, bring out the heavy equipment and start rolling!
Cut and set aside before cooking it in boiling water. It should be done in a minute! You'll know when the pieces rise to the surface.
for the sauce
2 (square) pieces of dark chocolate
2 tbsps butter
a touch of extra virgin olive oil
honey
2 pcs star anise
a tiny pinch of red chili flakes
melt butter in a saucepan over a low fire with a bit of olive oil. add star anise and chili flakes, let flavors infuse for a couple of minutes. melt chocolate pieces and honey. stir the dark glistening concoction until you can't help but toss the cooked chocolate pasta into sauce because you have this huge urge to eat it.
serve immediately.
serve immediately.
