Sources For Chocolate Pasta

Our answer

Nigella's Chocolate Pasta with Pecans and Caramel (from NIGELLISSIMA) is made with pasta that is flavoured with cocoa. This can be sold as "chocolate pasta" or "cocoa pasta". You may find the pasta in some speciality food halls or delis, but it is easiest to try and buy the pasta on-line. The dish will work with any shape of pasta so you do not necessarily have to use the fusillli shape mentioned in the ingredients list.

In the UK you can buy chocolate pasta from Hotel Chocolat and in the US try Pappardelle's Pasta. In mainland Europe Bien Manger sell a cocoa pasta and can ship to most countries. Amazon also occasionally sells chocolate and cocoa pasta and ships to several countries. When cooking the pasta follow the instructions on the packaging and start testing the pasta to see if it is cooked about 2 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
