Life in the Living Museum
I forgot to mention that at the Paolo Sarpi street fair we picked up a bag of ‘cocoa’ flavoured pasta. It’s brown, as you would expect and is real pasta, not just chocolate dressed up to look like pasta.
We have not tried it yet, but apparently it goes very will with ‘salsa di noci’, which I believe is walnut sauce.
I’ll let you know what choccy pasta is like, once I know. Very odd though, is it not?

I love sugo alle noci, I haven’t had it for ages. I’m not so sure about the chocolate pasta though, but chocolate and nuts do go well together so I can see that working.
