Celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis has stirred up a lively debate among her fans after sharing a video on TikTok featuring a rather unusual dish.

The video, posted on Tuesday, shows De Laurentiis enjoying pasta smothered in chocolate, a combination that left many scratching their heads.

A Comforting Yet Controversial Meal

In the video, De Laurentiis confidently declared that nothing could be “more comforting” than her chocolate-covered pasta, though she was quick to admit that it might not be the “sexiest” of dishes.

As she stirred the bowl, she reassured her followers, saying, “It’s dang good.”

The clip also featured her showing viewers how to make the dish, starting by boiling some pasta.

A Childhood Tradition

De Laurentiis explained that the recipe has roots in her childhood, reminiscing about how her mom used to prepare a similar treat with Nutella or chocolate chips.

“I’m also the kid who had chocolate sandwiches for breakfast, so I don’t think it’s that weird,” she shared, adding a personal touch to the dish’s backstory.

The Secret to the Chocolate Pasta

To create her chocolate pasta, De Laurentiis topped the cooked noodles with a chocolate hazelnut spread from the brand Pariani.

She described this particular spread as being “cleaner,” thanks to its real hazelnut content.

After mixing it all together, she finished the dish with a sprinkle of grated Italian chocolate, comparing it to adding parmesan cheese.

Fans React: A Divided Response

While some viewers were curious and even enthusiastic about trying the dish, others were less than impressed.

The comments section quickly filled with mixed reactions.

One fan humorously remarked, “Giada, I love you like cooked food but this is a bridge too far.”

Another said, “Giada, now I know you’re playing with meeeee.”

There were even a few who jokingly threatened to call the police.

The Other Side: Some Loved It

However, not everyone was critical. Many TikTok users embraced the idea, with one person writing, “Yum! So genius! Easy and tasty! That is all that matters.”

Others echoed similar sentiments, with one declaring, “This looks bomb idc what anyone says.”

Giada’s adventurous recipe may have divided opinions, but it’s clear that she’s not afraid to push culinary boundaries, encouraging her followers to give it a try.
