Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cocoa powder and stir until smooth.
Gradually whisk in the heavy cream, grated dark chocolate, salt, and vanilla extract. Continue stirring until the sauce is thick and creamy.
Add the cooked pasta to the saucepan and toss until well coated.

Tips for Decadent Chocolate Pasta

The sauce should look glossy and cling to the pasta; a grainy or dull finish can mean the chocolate was overheated.
Have the toppings ready before serving, since the sauce thickens as it cools.
Use a small saucepan and a whisk to smooth the cocoa into the butter and cream.
