Indulge in a Decadent Twist: Saffron-Infused

Today’s Special: Saffron-infused Chocolate Pasta

As the weather starts to cool down and fall is just around the corner, I’m excited to share a unique and decadent recipe that is perfect for this transitional time of year. Today, I’ll be walking you through how to make saffron-infused chocolate pasta – a dish that combines unexpected flavors for a truly unforgettable experience.

To start, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• saffron threads (0.5g)
• dark chocolate (100g)
• all-purpose flour (200g)
• eggs (2)
• salt (1/2 tsp)
• olive oil (1 tbsp)

For this recipe, you’ll need the following kitchen tools:

• mixing bowl
• rolling pin
• pasta machine
• saucepan

Start by infusing the saffron threads in warm water for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler until smooth. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, eggs, salt, olive oil, melted chocolate, and saffron-infused water. Knead the dough until smooth, then cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Once the dough has rested, divide it into small portions and roll each one out using a rolling pin. Run the rolled-out dough through a pasta machine to create thin, chocolate-infused pasta strands. Boil the pasta in salted water for just a few minutes until al dente.

For a finishing touch, drizzle some olive oil over the cooked pasta and garnish with a few saffron threads for a pop of color and flavor. This saffron-infused chocolate pasta is a delightful twist on a classic dish that will impress your guests and leave them craving more.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 600g, with 4 servings at 150g each. Each serving is estimated to be around 400 calories.

One tip to enhance the flavor of this dish is to grate some dark chocolate over the cooked pasta just before serving. The extra touch of chocolate adds a rich and indulgent element to the dish that will take it to the next level.

I hope you give this saffron-infused chocolate pasta a try and enjoy the unique combination of flavors. Feel free to experiment with different toppings or additions to make it your own. Happy cooking!
