Chocolate Pasta
People always ask me, what do you do with chocolate pasta?  Chocolate pasta is great as a dessert pasta.  It is wonderful with ice cream or yogurt, through some fruit in with that, maybe some nuts, and top with whip cream.  Another way that you can eat the chocolate pasta is take your favorite fruit jelly melt it down and pour it over the pasta.  Here is a link to a recipe for chocolate pasta with a peanut butter sauce.  I think this recipe would be wonderful for entertaining some friends.  In fact I had a customer who bought the chocolate pasta since she was going to be having some of her girl friends over and thought it would be a great thing to serve them.

Past with Mustard Greens

Ingredients:

2 (8 oz. bags) kale rigatoni

8- 10 mustard green leaves (chopped)

2 scallions (chopped)

4- 5 garlic scapes (chopped)

1 lb. ground pork sausage

1/2 cup milk

4 tablespoons butter

1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Cooking Instructions:

Cook pasta according to package directions, and set aside.  Brown ground pork sausage with 2 tablespoons butter in a large pan until no longer pink.  Add scallions, garlic scapes, milk and remaining (2 tablespoons) butter; cook for approx 5- 10 minutes longer.  Then add cooked pasta, parmesan cheese, and mustard greens, cook for few more minutes, until the the mustard greens just begin to wilt.  Serve warm, and if desired you can top with parmesan cheese on top. 

Note: You could also use heavy cream in this recipe instead of the milk.  I just used the milk because when I made this I did not have any heavy cream.  If you are going to use the heavy cream I would add 1 cup in place of 1/2 cup milk.
