Savory & Sweet Chocolate Recipes for Valentine's Day

I made the chocolate pasta for a special anniversary dinner. My fiance was a little skeptical and isn't a huge chocolate fan. We used an 85% cocoa bar grated on top. It was A-mazing! We will definitely add this to the menu for dinner with friends!

The spaghetti is definitely unusual, but looks great! And Francine seemed so sincere and knowledgeable. To go on a sweet path, you two should check out Semla, a traditional swedish dessert served around Fat Tuesday. Since that was only a few days ago, I saw it popping up on blogs and it looks really simple and yummy. It would be awesome if you made that on an episode.

Baci Lava Cakes! This is my favourite episode so far! I need to pick up some ramekins from my parent's next time I am home.

do you think that the pasta can be served without the shaved chocolate?

I made the chocolate pasta for valentines day and it was perfect! The chocolate was really expensive though...any suggestions for chocolate brands the next time i make this??

And you should put salt also when water is boiling

I'm italian... you must put pasta cooking only when water is boiling... not before...

The onion and shaved chocolate along with the parmesan was a revelation. Amazing.

who wrote the songs?

Great episode. Lava cakes are a great way idea. The chocolate caviar spaghetti reminded me of molé poblano sauce (which I love). My favourite romantic dishes: baked macaroni & cheese and flour-less chocolate torte with raspberries and chocolate mousse. Simple, delicious & lovely.

Loved this episode. Can't wait to try the simple molten chocolate cakes.

Love the simplicity of the chocolate lava cakes. And the sweet portion sized just for 2 is a nice touch. Thanks for not going into the cliched territory of oysters for V day!

Lava cakes look delicious. Will definately make them. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

Oooh yum! My partner and I don't generally celebrate Valentine's day, but we have had our share of romantic homemade meals. One thing I love for dessert is chocolate fondue with fresh fruit. It's simple and fairly customizable (I've yet to try white chocolate fondue!). For the main meal I think a creamy pasta is always great for a romantic mood. There's a dish I've wanted to recreate for a while that I had at a restaurant that was a penne with truffle oil, Asiago cheese, and several kinds of mushrooms. But chocolate everything doesn't sound bad!

I'm going to try the lava cakes for sure...I love "baci"! rebecca you're doing a great job with this show, so far I liked every single recipe you suggested.

I think this all looks delicious, and I want to give this dish a shot, but my partner doesn't like onions :/ Any suggestions on how I can rework the sauce?

not sure about th chocolate on the pasta, but hey, i'm game.. btw, where's max?? he's been missing from the last few episodes. not that i don't love rebecca and ll

looks delicious! chocolate and sage?! devine. :)

great guest! not so sure about the savory chocolate spaghetti... but those little lava cakes, I'll be doing those for sure!
