The ingredients needed to make Cocoa Pasta with Cheese Sauce:

Cook pasta in generously-salted water al dente according to package instructions.; While the pasta is cooking, heat oil in a medium skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat. The result - well, I'd say that the pasta has a much stronger aroma of cocoa than flavour. The taste is actually extremely mild. I'm wondering whether a spoonful or two or some organic cocoa powder in the sauce wouldn't have gone a miss just to add an extra hit.
Steps to make Cocoa Pasta with Cheese Sauce:
- Place flour and cocoa powder on a board, create a well in the centre and add the egg. Using a fork, beat the the egg well then gradually start to mix in with the surrounding flour
- Continue to combine together with your hands, then add the oil and knead the dough for 5-10 mins until it is elastic
- Cover the dough with cling wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 20-30 mins
- Remove from the refrigerator, unwrap and lightly dust a large work surface with flour then roll your pasta into a large thin sheet using a rolling pin. Fold the dough into thirds, then roll it out again
- Once you have rolled your dough to approx 0.5 mm thickness in a long rectangle shape, roll the sheet of dough loosely then cut thin (1-2 mm) slices at the short end of your roll to create a fettuccine or tagliatelle pasta
- Stretch the pieces out to dry for approx 30 mins then create pasta nests
- Add butter to a saucepan and heat gently
- Add the flour and stir constantly until you have a smooth paste (a roux)
- Remove from the heat and add a little bit of the milk at a time whilst stirring to ensure you remove any lumps. Return to the the heat and continue stirring until the sauce thickens
- Add your nutmeg, stir through, add cheese and stir until melted into the sauce then remove from the heat
- Boil a pot of water and add the pasta for approx 5 mins then serve with melted cheese or bechamel sauce.
Drain the pasta once it is done. A bit of pasta cooking water should still be clinging to the pasta once it is drained. This will help the sauce form. Immediately toss with the garlic/parsley mixture. Top with cheese and toss again.
