As the weather starts to cool down and fall approaches, I find myself craving hearty and comforting dishes that are also a bit unexpected. That’s why I’m excited to share my recipe for Savory Cherry Chocolate Pasta with you today! This dish combines the rich, slightly sweet flavors of cherries and chocolate with perfectly cooked pasta for a unique and delicious meal that’s sure to impress.

Ingredients:

• penne pasta (250g)
• frozen cherries (150g)
• dark chocolate (50g)
• heavy cream (100ml)
• parmesan cheese (50g)
• salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• saucepan
• whisk
• colander
• grater

To start, cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions until it’s al dente. While the pasta is cooking, heat a saucepan over medium heat and add the frozen cherries. Cook them until they start to release their juices and become soft.

Next, add the dark chocolate to the saucepan with the cherries and stir until the chocolate is melted and well combined with the cherry juices. Pour in the heavy cream and continue to stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Once the pasta is cooked, drain it in a colander and then add it to the saucepan with the cherry chocolate sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated in the sauce.

To finish, grate some fresh parmesan cheese over the top of the pasta and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the Savory Cherry Chocolate Pasta hot and enjoy the unique combination of flavors in every bite.

One clever tip for this recipe is to reserve some pasta water before draining the pasta. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of pasta water to thin it out and create a silkier texture.

I hope you give this Savory Cherry Chocolate Pasta a try and enjoy the delicious blend of flavors. Feel free to customize the recipe with your favorite ingredients and make it your own!
