• 4. Add white cheddar, stirring to melt the cheese into the milk. Add ground pink and black peppercorns. 5. Add the pasta to the pot and stir in the Parmesan. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• 6. Serve!

CHOCOLATE BARK

Yield: Serves 16 Recipe courtesy Wolfgang Puck Catering

INGREDIENTS

• 1 pound dark chocolate (64 to 70 percent cocoa content), coarsely chopped
• 1/4 cup roasted pecan halves
• 1/4 cup coarsely chopped roasted macadamia nuts
• 1/4 cup roasted shelled pistachio nuts
• 1/4 cup roasted shelled sunflower seeds
• 1/4 cup dried cherries
• 1/4 cup chopped dried apricots

INSTRUCTIONS

If you start with raw shelled nuts, put them in a single layer in a baking pan and roast them in a preheated 350°F oven until golden, about 6 minutes; then remove them from the oven and cool to room temperature before making the bark.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Put the chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Put the bowl in the microwave, set the power level to medium, and microwave for 20 seconds. Stir the chocolate with a rubber spatula and, if not smoothly melted, microwave again for 20 seconds longer. Continue only until the chocolate is smooth. Spread the melted chocolate on the parchment-lined baking sheet to a thickness of 1/4 inch. (It’s okay if the edges of the spread-out chocolate aren’t neat, since you’ll be breaking it up.) Immediately sprinkle the pecans, macadamias, pistachios, sunflower seeds, cherries, and apricots over the still-melted chocolate. Leave the chocolate to set until solid, about 20 minutes at cool room temperature or 5 to 10 minutes in the refrigerator. Break the chocolate into rough serving pieces and store in a covered container at cool room temperature until serving time
