## Description

Gourmet Chocolate PastaUse our cocoa penne pasta for decadent savory or sweet pasta dishes. It is delicious when paired with cream sauces. The chocolate pasta, especially good al dente as all Italian pasta should be, has an unmistakable flavor of the wonderful wheat germ and can be enjoyed on its own or with your favorite desserts.The Flavor of Wheat GermAll the flavor of homemade pasta with wheat germ sets this Penne heirloom pasta apart from all others. Wheat germ is the heart of the grain of wheat, rich in flavor and nourishing active ingredients. The wheat germ contains vitamins A, D, and E and also provides a wonderful aroma while cooking. The wheat germ also gives the cooking water a slightly green hue making cooking Morelli’s pasta a completely unique experience. The durum wheat semolina is a little thicker than spaghetti and is able to absorb sauces well and give more succulent and full-bodied wheat flavor to your meals.Versatile Our Penne Wheat Germ and Cocoa pasta can be used in classic Italian desserts. The pasta holds up beautifully in more complex desserts as well. Durum wheat semolina is also a healthy choice for pasta as it is very high in protein and low in gluten. Enjoy true Italian specialty foods and make perfect flavorful pasta in just 9 minutes!Imported From Italy Morelli has been creating gourmet Italian pasta in Tuscany since 1860 and is a family-run company with the 5th generation currently preserving the traditions their ancestors put into place. They utilize an artisanal method of reincorporating wheat germ into semolina to create their pasta with a unique taste and the aroma of wheat. Their pasta also has a high level of Vitamin A and D due to their unusual ingredients.Morelli offers classic and traditional types of pasta such as Tacconi, Pici di Siena, and Tagliatelle.

*by T***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 28, 2015*

The biggest problem I had with this pasta was the lack of information about how long to cook it; would cocoa content make a difference in that regard? Without that information I used the standard time for penne pasta of around 9 minutes and it came out fairly well. There is a suggested sauce you can make on the underside of the label but it isn't very good at giving directions, it basically list the weights of ingredients you'll need so hopefully you know how to make a sauce. You can use a cheesy, a cream, or even a basic tomato sauce but be careful with your spices. The cocoa flavor of the past is subtle but a bit on the darker side so I went with a sweeter cream sauce and spicy breakfast style sausage when we enjoyed it. I'd buy it again but I'm curious about other chocolate or cocoa pastas, too. I'd love to review them on my blog.

This is an amazing product.  I cooked it up for friends at their place.  There were leftovers and they always send me home with leftovers, but they did not even offer me any....they loved it that much.
