PRETTY PASTA

We have the Chocobarocco Festival in Modica this week and I was fascinated to come acoss these pretty, multicolured lasagne by CioMod.  The sheets are made from the hard wheat flour of Puglia and the colours are worked by our Modican chocolate makers, using cocoa, spinach, beetroot,  paprika and turmeric.  I can't wait to try this in a recipe!
