here is the recipe I mentioned in the chat last night. It is from scratch, not extruder machine. It is long.

Guillano Bugialli's Chocolate Pasta Serves 6
From The Washington Post Newspaper

Ingredients

3 c. unbleached all purpose flour
4 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa (dutch process)
4 extra large eggs
2 tsp. olive oil or vegetable oil
Pinch of Salt

For Sauce:

strawberry or rasberry jam
chopped walnuts or hazelnuts
mini chocolate chips

Procedure:

Combine flour and cocoa. Place in a mound on a pasta board. Use a fork to make a well in the center. With a fork, first mix together the eggs, oil and salt; then begin to incorporate fresh flour from the inner rim of the well, always incorporating fresh flour from the lower part, pushing it under the dough that is forming to keep it from sticking to the board. Remove the pieces of the dough attached to the fork. Put the pieces of the dough together with your fingers. Scrape the board with a pastry scraper gathering together all the unincorporated flour as well as the pieces of dough coated with flour. Place this flour without the pieces of dough in a sifter. Resting the sifter on the board and using one hand, clean the flour by moving the sifter back and forth. The globules of dough will remain in the sifter screen and will not filter through. Discard. Start kneading the dough using the palm of your hand and folding the dough over with the other hand absorbing the leftover from the board. Do not sprinkle the rflour over the dough. Continue kneading for about 2-3 minutes, absorbing the flour until the dough is no longer wet and all but 4 or 5 tbsp. have been incorporated (the remaining flour will be used for the second kneading.)

With the palm of your hand, flatten the ball of dough so it can fit between the rollers of the pasta machine (hand crank type.) Set the wheel for the rollers at the widest setting. Turning the handle, pass the dough through the rollers. With your other hand, remove the layer of dough from underneath the pasta machine. Holding the layer of dough with both hands, gently flour one side of the dough by drawing it across the board (across the flour on the board.) Fold into thirds and press down with your fingers, starting from one open side toward the opposite open side, so that the three layers will be melded together and no air will remain inside between the 3 layers of dough. Using the same wide setting of the rollers, insert the open end of the folded layer of dough through the rollers. Repeat rolling and folding 8 to 10 times until the dough is smooth and elastic. It is now ready to be stretched.

Move notch up one on setting for rollers. Flour the layer of pasta on both sides by drawing it across the flour on the board. When feeding the layer of pasta into the machine, the position of your body is very important. Stand sideways in relation to the table and hold the handle of the machine with your right hand. Hold the other hand up sideways, keeping the four fingers together and holding the thumb out. Let the sheet of pasta rest over your hand between the first finger and the outstretched thumb. Pass the dough through the rollers once; do not fold anymore. Move the wheel to the next notch - pass the dough through rollers once. Each time (after passing), sprinkle the layer of pasta with a little flour. Each successive notch will produce a thinner layer of pasta. Repeat this procedure until the layer reaches 1/8" thickness. Still letting the pasta hand over one hand, pull it out to its full length. It is now ready to be cut.

Stretch the pasta to the last notch of the pasta machine. With a pastry cutter, cut the layer of pasta into pieces about 15" long. Let the pieces dry for about 15 minutes on a lightly floured pasta board. Attach the cutter to the machine. Insert the layer of pasta into the widest cutter and cut. Do for all pieces adn dry on pasta dryer.

Cook pasta for only a moment or so in a big pot of boiling water. Drain.

In your serving bowls, place the ingredients for the sauce. Place some hot pasta on top of the sauce ingredients. Mix to cover. Eat immediately!! Mmmmm...
