Chocolate Ravioli with Chef Brandon Price

Of all the recipes from our 2022 Chocolate Extravaganza, this was one of the most surprising. As always, Chef Brandon Price was able to mix sweet and savory, use a few less common ingredients along with some dark cocoa powder, and create something divine. We wish you could all have been in the demo kitchen while the beef was braising and the pasta pot was simmering. These chocolate ravioli were so savory and we can’t wait to give this recipe a try for dinner. It will be a great excuse to practice our pasta-making skills.

FOR THE ASSEMBLY: Use a rolling pin or a pasta machine to layer and flatten the pasta. (To create the layers, fold the dough in thirds and flatten.) Then use a pasta cutter to cut the dough into desired sizes, add filling, and seal. Cook the pasta in a pot of boiling water. Then sauté with butter and garlic. Add fresh grated parmesan for a finishing touch.
