Spicy Pork Sausage Ragu with Pasta

Serves 8 Prep Time 1 minutes   Cook Time 20 minutes   Rated:

Chocolate and pork? Why yes! Cocoa enhances the spices and the end result is a deep rich earthy flavour that tastes like it's been simmering away for hours. Your guests will wonder, "Hmmm ... ? What is that ... ? Trust me -- they will never guess it's chocolate!

The flavour of this sauce improves with age, so don’t be afraid to keep in the fridge for a couple of days if you have left overs.

This was originally created for the Death by Chocolate Calendar from quite a few years ago and then I think I whacked it into the American cookbook, because it seriously was too good to waste in an old calendar. It is delish. If you make it, please post it on socials and don't forget to hashtag me with #cookingwithtenina so I can see the benefits of your hard work!

Enjoy.
