Just in Time for Valentine's Day

Who knows more about Love than the Italians? So just in time for the big day, here's a sure way to impress your Valentine and get those juices flowing. Be sure to include a nice bottle of Il Bastardo (chilled to about 55 degrees) for the topper to a perfect evening!

Chef Louie's Hot and Sweet Chocolate Raviolis

You will need
8 oz Marscapone cheese
                or
8 oz of whipped cream cheese
1 Jalapeno pepper
1 habanero pepper
1/4 tsp. Cayenne pepper
1/2 cup of chocolate morsels
1/4 cup milk
1 stick butter (unsalted)
1 dozen pasta or won ton wrappers
1 beaten egg
a sprig of fresh mint
Over low to medium heat. stir the milk, the chocolate chips, 1 tbs of finely minced jalapeno , 1 tbs of finely minced habanero pepper, and some cayenne powder untill fully incorporated (about 10 to 12 minutes). Once mixed, turn off the heat and add 2 tbs of butter and the cheese and mix well. The mix should be a stiff, dough-like consistency. If it's too dry to stir, add milk at a really slow rate. If it is too watery, add more cheese, or, flour. Now take the wrapper and make it into the largest circle you can cut it into, put a dollop of filling into the center, fold over and seal with the beaten egg and a little fork crimping. Take the remainder of the butter, put into a skillet on medium high heat, and throw those love poppers into the pan.  Sear them well (about 7 minutes) and when you take them out, place them on a platter in an overlapping circle. At this point, you can drizzle more melted chocolate(just pop a cup of morsels into the nuke for this), a drizzle of honey, and then a shake of confectioner's powder. Take the fresh mint and garnish the dish and there you have it!
