• 1/4 cup of semolina flour, sifted (You can increase the all purpose flour if you don't have semolina flour)
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 cube of bakers chocolate
• 2-3 Tbsp of water
• 2 Tbsp of sugar if you want it sweet. I did not add it.

• 1 cup of sugar
• 1 cup of white wine
• 2 tbsp of crushed red pepper
• 2 tbsp of butter
• 1 cup whipping cream
• 2 tbsp of sugar for the whipping cream

1. I heated the bakers chocolate in a double broiler.
2. Its simple.
3. Take a sauce pan and bring about an 1 inch of water to a boil.
4. Place a pyrex or heat safe bowl or glass in the center of the pan and let the chocolate melt.
5. Stir in a little bit of water to thin out the consistency to a pasty texture.
6. Place the blended flours in the middle of a large cutting board.
7. Create a well in the center of the pile of blended flour.
8. Pour the chocolate mixture along with the eggs, salt and sugar, if youre using it, in the center of the pile of flour and mix with a fork until it has a paste like consistancy
9. Knead the dough for at least 15 minutes or until the dough is relaxed.

17. Wash and slice the strawberries and dry.
18. Melt the butter on medium heat in a saute pan and add the strawberries.
