9 Nasty Truths About Your Favorite Foods
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Kimberly of Adventures in Eating Locally has been taunting me for months with this dark chocolate linguine that she purchased from Pappardelle's Pasta at a farmer's market. Not only did the concept of dark chocolate linguine sound absolutely amazing to me, but she promised to use a recipe found on Pappardelle's website for a dark chocolate kugel - be still my heart!
I finally got the dinner invite last week and nothing was going to stop me from going. I, of course, had to try some of the uncooked pasta. I couldn't wait! It tasted like normal uncooked pasta but with a slight chocolate flavor. After it was cooked, the chocolate flavor was even more mild. Don't expect this pasta to taste like a chocolate bar. It is still pasta.
The kugel itself was worth the anticipation. It didn't much taste like chocolate, but the chocolate essence was there just enough to make it extra fun!
Chocolate or not, I was impressed with the quality of Pappardelle's Pasta. If it's not at a farmer's market near you, you can buy it online.

I too found the kugel to be less "chocolately" than I had expected, but it was still quite tasty!

The health benefits of dark chocolate are definitely striking. Science is now confirming what we've known for a long long time.
"The mounting scientific evidence [on cacao research] is extrordinary. This is a scientific breakthrough that could well lead to a medical breakthrough." - Dr. Norman Hollenberg
