Good Hair Day: Cacao Waves

Hmmmm, really? Cacao pasta?

We hear your inner skeptic because we share it. But this turns out to be a wonderful Italian specialty pasta that both beautiful and delivers a subtle cacao flavor that can enhance either savory or sweet recipes. Try it with walnut or pistachio pesto, gorgonzola cheese sauce, poached and flaked salmon Balsamico or simply melt some Mascarpone into the hot pasta and then drizzle with a fruity balsamic vinegar and top with berries. Let yourself be surprised!

Know a foodie? Need a host gift for your next invitation to dinner?? This fills the bill perfectly. But you may be wise to grab an extra box for your own special meal, which is any meal of the week when you make this pasta!

Pro Tip - preserve the color of the pasta by cooking only to the point of "al dente". Overcooking reduces the color.
