RED WINE PASTA



Red Wine Pasta image

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.

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 pounds meaty short ribs
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 bottles dry red wine
8 shallots, quartered
2 carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
2 onions, peeled and quartered
10 sprigs parsley, 2 bay leaves, 3 sprigs thyme, tied together with a string
1 star anise
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
8 cremini mushrooms, quartered
1 1/4 cups milk
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 tablespoons flour
3/4 cup heavy cream
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
3/4 pound penne pasta, cooked al dente
1 cup grated Gruyere cheese
2 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives

Steps:

  • For the Beef: Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Heat oil and butter in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Season the ribs with salt and pepper and cook on both sides for 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Add all of the wine to the pan and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom, add all of the remaining ingredients, except the mushrooms, and season with salt and pepper. Cover with the lid, braise on the stove top or place in the oven and let braise for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until very tender. Remove the meat to a plate and strain the cooking liquids into a bowl. Clean out the pan and add the strained liquid into the pan. Add the mushrooms and cook over high heat until reduced by 1/3. Return the meat to the pan and cook for 5 minutes to heat through.
  • For the Pasta Gratin: Place milk and garlic in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes, then remove the garlic. Melt butter in a small saucepan, whisk in the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes over low heat. Gradually whisk in the milk and cream and cook over medium-high heat until thickened, season with salt and pepper and nutmeg, remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place cooked pasta in a buttered medium flameproof baking dish, add the sauce and stir to combine. Sprinkle the Gruyere over the top of the pasta then sprinkle the Parmesan over the Gruyere. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil, rotating the dish, until the cheese is golden, about 3 to 4 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes. Garnish with chives.

PASTA WITH BACON, SUGAR SNAP PEAS AND RED WINE



Pasta With Bacon, Sugar Snap Peas and Red Wine image

This evolved from my recipe for Carbonara from the Food and Wine pasta cookbook. I was experimenting with ways to cut the cream and eggs and with a couple of other tweaks this is where I ended up! It definitely stands on its own for a meal, particularly if you add more veggies, but I also use it as a side dish at times. Prosciutto works well too but make sure it gets really crispy. With the wine, you are going to add it to the bacon mixture 2 tablespoons at a time.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 lb pasta (I prefer campanelle or fusilli from Barilla)
8 ounces sugar snap peas
8 slices center-cut bacon, chopped
1 -2 large shallot, chopped (should be about 1/2 to 2/3 cup. red onion can be subbed but then up garlic)
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2/3 cup red wine (the better the wine, the better the meal!)
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided into two 1/4 tsp
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (I mostly used Kraft Reduced fat with a few tbsp fresh mixed in)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Put on a pot of salted water to boil.
  • Heat up a large skillet over medium. Spray lightly with cooking spray.
  • Add chopped bacon and stir. Let bacon cook about 5 minutes until it starts to brown and bacon grease gets released into pan.
  • Add shallots, garlic, pinch of red pepper flakes and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Stir and cook until shallots and garlic begin to brown, about 2 more minutes.
  • Add first 2 tbsp of red wine and carefully scrap down the pan to make sure all the little bits are being picked up. Let cook 2-3 minutes and repeat, adding another 1/4 tsp of black pepper.
  • Meanwhile, add pasta to boiling water and cook per instructions. Add sugar snap peas 1 min, 15 seconds before pasta cooking time is up. (This will make them tender crisp. Change cooking time if you like them more/less tender).
  • Repeat the process with the wine until it has all been used, adding additional salt and pepper to taste.
  • Once all wine has been added, move heat to low/medium low. Add 1 tbsp red wine.
  • Drain pasta/snow peas and add into skillet. If your skillet is not large enough this can be done in a new bowl. Thoroughly combine bacon mixture with pasta, really scrapping the sides of the pan to make sure all the flavors are incorporated.
  • Add 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and 2 tbsp fresh parsley. Mix again.
  • Serve and enjoy! I usually keep a cup of cheese on the table for people to add more as they see fit.

RED WINE VINEGAR CHICKEN WITH PASTA



Red Wine Vinegar Chicken With Pasta image

This recipe came from an experiment of mine. I was trying to think of new ways to cook chicken in a healthy way, using as little fat as possible. I noticed the different types of vinegar in my kitchen and decided to try red wine vinegar. The result was wonderful! However for those who don't like the strong taste of vinegar you can use less, or use a stronger tasting spaghetti sauce.

ROTWEIN-NUDELN (RED WINE PASTA WITH SPRING ONIONS)



Rotwein-Nudeln (Red Wine Pasta With Spring Onions) image

Rotwein-Nudeln Mit Fruehlingszwiebeln, from a Betty Bossi cookbook (Switzerland). A Swiss friend prepared this for me when I was living overseas. It is a simple but tasty dish. The salt helps the pasta absorb the red wine color. I have translated the recipe from German so it may need some tweaking.

ALESSANDRO GIUNTOLI'S PASTA WITH RED WINE



Alessandro Giuntoli's Pasta With Red Wine image

Finishing pasta by cooking it for the final minute or two in stock is not all that uncommon. But simmering it in flavorful liquid for nearly all of its cooking time, almost as you would a risotto, is highly unusual. And when that liquid is red wine, you have a pasta dish that is an attention grabber. I had pasta in red wine at Osteria del Circo, an Italian restaurant in midtown Manhattan. Its chef, Alessandro Giuntoli, recreated the dish after hearing about it from a friend. There are aspects of it that are quite splendid: the pasta takes on a fruity acidity, smoothed by the last-minute addition of butter, and a beautiful mahogany glaze. Mr. Giuntoli scents the dish with garlic, olive oil and crushed red pepper, but the dominant flavor is unquestionably that of wine, so the kind that's used is important. His preference is a decent Chianti Classico, although I found that almost any fruity, lightly acidic red wine with character - like a lighter wine from the Cotes du Rhone or a decent zinfandel - will give good results. Also, for best results, use spaghetti. I experimented with other pasta shapes, but spaghetti does produce the best texture.

Categories     pastas, appetizer, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound spaghetti
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, or to taste
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 bottle red wine, like Chianti Classico
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. When water boils, salt it and add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, place oil, garlic and red-pepper flakes in another pot over medium-high. As soon as garlic begins to brown, sprinkle it with some salt and pepper and carefully add 3/4 of the bottle of wine (a little more than 2 cups). Bring it to a boil and maintain it there.
  • When pasta begins to bend, after less than 5 minutes of cooking, drain it and add it to the wine mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, adding more wine a little at a time if the mixture threatens to dry out completely.
  • Taste pasta frequently. When it is done - tender but with a little bite - stir in the butter and turn off the heat. When butter has glazed the pasta, serve it immediately.
