Chocolate Pasta with Spicy Strawberry Sauce

Create this fresh, new recipe for a sweet and spicy twist this Valentine's Day! Made with our heart-shaped chocolate pasta, this dish is a fun new dinner idea to try!

Natura Amica has integrated the flavor of cocoa into a pasta without creating a "sweet like dessert" taste. Made with durum wheat semolina flour and cacao (not to be confused with cocoa), this pasta is an all-natural choice. Why cacao? It is a pure, raw form of chocolate (not processed like cocoa) and contains a great number of antioxidants.

Ingredients:

• 1 bag Natura Amica Chocolate Pasta
• 2 T. Migliarese basil-infused extra virgin olive oil
• 1 lb fresh strawberries, sliced
• 1/3 cup Migliarese Strawberry and Honey Jam
• 1 1/2 T Migliarese Hot Pepper Jam
• 3/4 cup white wine
• Pecorino Romano cheese

Directions:

1. Boil water and cook pasta.
2. Heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the strawberries and cook for two minutes.
3. Stir in the strawberry and honey jam and the hot pepper jam. Mix well.
4. Slowly add the wine and allow to cook until thickened and wine is reduced. Keep warm.
5. Drain the pasta but do not rinse.
6. Combine the pasta and spicy strawberry sauce.
7. Sprinkle with Pecorino Romano cheese.
