Garlic, oil and chocolate: an unusual recipe to put on the table

At first glance, the combination of these three words (and these three ingredients) sounds wrong, risky, too strange compared to the traditional combination of garlic, oil and chilli pepper. Even spaghetti with garlic, oil and chocolate, however, are a dish to be enjoyed with pleasure, to amaze yourself and your diners.

So let's see what ingredients are needed to prepare this peculiar delicacy.

A small portion for tasting

For the first taste test, we recommend preparing 80g of spaghetti per head, to be seasoned with a tablespoon of oil, garlic cut into rings (about half a clove for one person) and dark chocolate chips. Since this is a savory dish, in fact, the intake of chocolate should not bring too much sugar with it: for the success of this recipe, it will indeed help to buy a bar of dark chocolate of at least 70%, preferably flavored with chilli

If you prefer to cook spaghetti al dente, don't worry, it's just the best option for preparation. Now that we have seen the ingredients to have in the kitchen to prepare this excellent dish, it's time to get to work

A few simple steps for a perfect garlic, oil and chocolate spaghetti

Once the water has been brought to a boil, throw the spaghetti into the pot, then dedicate yourself to browning the garlic cut in the indicated amount of oil (we anticipate that yes, it is possible to increase it at will, always without exaggeration).

As soon as the pasta is ready, drain it and add the ingredients, sautéing it quickly in a pan with a part of the dark chocolate reduced to fine flakes. Finally, plate everything with the essential finishing touch: cold grated dark chocolate as a delicious garnish, which will slowly melt and join the underlying cream.

The combination of garlic, oil and chocolate is also proposed in the form of a plate of ravioli filled with sea bass, more complicated to prepare but to be included among the gourmet preparations to be prepared at least once
