If you’re looking for a show-stopping vegetarian-friendly chocolate pasta dish, you have come to the right place. The subtlety of the chocolate pasta works well with this cheesy sauce. This author uses dried chocolate cavatappi pasta instead of homemade chocolate pasta. Chocolate pasta can be hard to come by in the store, so if you can’t find any, simply whip up homemade chocolate fettuccine noodles instead.

Combine two tablespoons of butter and two tablespoons of flour in a pan on medium heat. Cook this for about 4 minutes until the butter and flour mixture turns golden. Lastly, add non-fat milk, cream, and some gorgonzola cheese to finish off the sauce. If it ends up being too thick, whisk in a tablespoon of milk at a time until it reaches your preferred consistency. The gorgonzola cream sauce tends to be rich, so it is crucial to top the dish with either chopped pistachios, hazelnuts, or toasted walnuts to add some crunch.

This next chocolate pasta is worth the calories. Begin by buttering a 9 X 13 inch casserole dish and set it aside. Bring a pot of water to boil and cook some homemade chocolate fettuccine. Next, whisk ricotta, eggs, sugar, cream, milk, chocolate, cocoa powder, crème de cacao liqueur, vanilla, and cinnamon in a bowl. Add your cooked noodles to that and spread your fettucine pudding evenly in the pan. Sprinkle it liberally with snickerdoodle cookie crumbs to add texture and bake in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven. 

Now comes the hardest part, waiting for the dessert to cook. Let it bake for about an hour and check for doneness by inserting a knife in the middle. If it comes out clean, it is ready to be cut into squares and served warm. Any chocolate lover will feel like they’ve died and gone to heaven once they dig into this dessert.

6. Chocolate Ravioli

This inspiring recipe comes with a raspberry puree and chopped hazelnuts. First, make your chocolate dough by combining all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, eggs, and water. Once the dough has been kneaded and is no longer sticky, wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for at least an hour.

In the meantime, make the filling, which consists of mascarpone, egg, and ricotta cheese, plus some sweeteners. Keep this in the fridge to allow it to set. Once the dough is ready, cut it into fourths and rewrap the three remaining pieces while working with one part of the dough at a time. Use a pasta machine to roll the dough and stretch it out until you have reached the thinnest setting. Put one teaspoon of the filling on the pasta sheets every three inches and fold the dough over itself to cut out the individual ravioli noodles. 

The author recommends making the ravioli ahead of time so that you can flash freeze them. With this method, it is less likely for the ravioli to come apart when adding them to boiling water. Make the raspberry puree the same day you will cook them to add an element of freshness to your dessert.
