Savory Chocolate Pasta with Hazelnut Chili Cream Sauce

Savory Chocolate Pasta with Hazelnut Chili Cream Sauce

When I think of Valentines day, I think of sugary pink hearts, stuffed teddy bears, roses and of  course tons of chocolate. Dark, sweet, melting, sugar filled chocolates. Maybe with a creamy hazelnut center. I’ve always preferred savory foods to sweet, so I decided to flip a classic truffle on it’s head and try something new for Valentine’s day- chocolate pasta with hazelnut chili sauce. This dish brings in bright dashes of lime, bitter, dark and earthy notes of cocoa, aromatic cilantro, and spicy bits of chili. It’s all carried together with a light, creamy hazelnut sauce.
