Homemade pasta with cocoa, bacon and mascarpone cheese

The pasta dough is made with cocoa. I use an electric pasta machine (Nina from Springlaneā„¢). If you make the dough by hand, replace 4-5% of the flour with cocoa. The cocoa does not taste strong out. It's more for the look.

[Translate to Englisch:]

380g semola (ital. durum wheat semolina) 100g flour type 00 (pasta flour) 20g cocoa 1 egg 4g salt water as desired by the machine

200g bacon 50g chalots 150g cherry tomatoes salt, pepper

50g parmesan 100g mascarpone (less is fine) 2 stalks parsley 5g dark chocolate parmesan for serving

For the pasta, dissolve the salt in a little water. Put flour, cocoa and semola in the machine, which will then indicate the amount of water needed. The amount of water includes the egg. Whisk the egg with the salt water and fill up with water. Put everything in the machine and let it work.

Grate the Parmesan cheese. Chop the parsley. Cut the tomatoes in half.

Cut the bacon into fine strips. Chop the chalots. Fry the bacon and reduce the heat, saute the chalotte with the bacon.

Cook the pasta in plenty of salted water for about 4 minutes.

After 2 minutes of cooking the pasta, add the tomatoes to the bacon.

Add the pasta dripping wet to the bacon, season with salt and pepper.

Serve the pasta in deep plates, top with mascarpone, grate some chocolate and parmesan over it, season with parsley.
