Whether you're cooking for date night or game night, a recipe that is easy to prepare but leaves an impression is the way to go. This dish-which in Italy is known as spaghetti all'ubriaco or "drunken" pasta, combines thin strands of spaghetti with a reduced red wine-shallot sauce. Studded with bits of salty pancetta and sprinkled with Pecorino Romano cheese, it's a thirty-minute meal that is perfect for serving alongside slices of good crusty bread and a green salad.

Time 30m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces pancetta, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, plus more for serving
Kosher salt
1 (750-ml) bottle red wine, such as Beaujolais
1 pound spaghetti
1/4 cup finely grated Pecorino Romano cheese, plus more for serving
Chopped fresh parsley leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium. Add pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp and lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer pancetta to paper towels to drain. Add shallot, garlic, and red pepper flakes to pan; season with salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully add red wine; increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Boil 2 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of generously salted boiling water for 4 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water. Add pasta to pot with red wine; cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta is bright red and al dente and most of wine has been absorbed, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in cheese and pancetta. Stir in pasta water as needed to loosen sauce. Serve with more cheese, parsley, and red pepper flakes.
