You’re not dreaming.  There really is chocolate flavored pasta.  This is artisanal dried wheat germ pasta flavored with cocoa.  Because the pasta itself is not particularly sweet, it can be used in both eye catching desserts and shockingly unusual (but very good!) savory dishes. 

Almost all other dried pasta’s semolina flour has had its wheat germ removed.  The germ gives wheat a lot of flavor and vitamins, but also contains healthy fats which make it perishable.  Pastificio Morelli, a family run pasta business, has the 150 year artisanal expertise necessary to reintroduce the germ without compromising quality or shelf life, slow drying their pasta in cool air over the course of 36 hours. 

The wheat germ pasta they produce has a stronger, “wheatier” flavor than others…almost as if someone took your usual dried pasta and turned the volume up.

Pastificio Morelli also uses traditional bronze dies to make their extruded pastas. Bronze dies give the pasta tiny grooves, providing texture and a more beautiful appearance, but most importantly causing sauces to adhere to the pasta much better. Because bronze dies are expensive to produce and wear out quickly compared to other materials, many other pasta producers have switched to far more durable steel dies.
