Home Made Chocolate Pasta

1. 1

   In a large bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder and salt together with a wire whisk. Dump the flour mixture onto your work surface or in a large bowl. Make a deep well in the center of the mound and break the eggs into it. Mix the eggs with a fork, adding 1 Tbsp oil and 1 tsp vanilla. Stir with your fork until you form a soft dough. When you have formed a soft, dough ball, transfer it to a clean, floured working surface and knead for 5-10 minutes until the dough is soft, elastic and uniform in color. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for an hour before rolling.

2. 2

   Roll the dough through your pasta machine and use your spaghetti, linguini or fettuccine cutting attachment. Cook your pasta in unsalted, boiling water for 2 - 3 minutes. Drain thoroughly but do not rinse.

3. 3

   Mound your warm pasta onto dessert plates and serve immediately with sauce, or chill to serve cold.

4. 4

   Optional idea: You could substitute vanilla for mint essence, or even add a little fresh mint to turn this into choc mint pasta and most likely other essences would allow you to make any combination you liked.
