Good Eats: Spaghetti Cooked in Red Wine

Every week we round up our favorite posts from our friends at Serious Eats. Today we have a lot of good eating, particularly this dish from Gina of Babbo: Spaghetti All’Ubriaco, or spaghetti cooked in red wine. What? Strange sounding? Yes, to us too, but Gina makes it sound ever so delicious. Plus, West Indian rice and beans, making burrata in Italy, and tsokolate, Pinoy hot chocolate.

• Seriously Italian: Spaghetti All’Ubriaco - This recipe sounds so easy, and quintessentially Italian: spaghetti, red wine, garlic, olive oil, parsley. Spaghetti cooked in red wine!

• Snapshots from Italy: Making Burrata, the Meta-Mozzarella, in Puglia - Watch the workers knot those little balls of hot mozzarella by hand. Wow.

• Dinner Tonight: West Indian Rice and Beans - An easy staple with a consistency like comfort-food risotto.

• Grocery Ninja: Tsokolate—Smokey, Nutty, Pinoy Hot Chocolate - Cocoa, ground together with sugar and nuts for a pleasant smoky grittiness, and poured until frothy. Sounds delicious.

• Meat Lite: Spring Greens and Strip Steak Salad - Less than a pound of meat and big salad can serve four when you mix them up like this. Is it time for spring salads yet?

I've cooked spaghetti in wine before. I throw in some sauteed broccoli rabe and red pepper flakes and it's delicious. Good around Christmas time with the red and green.

sounds good, but man i'd hate to waste good red wine that way. i'd rather drink a glass while eating my pasta.

maybe cheap box wine, though?

This sounds GOOD! My husband and I barely drink, but we like wine. I'm always looking for ways to use the inevitable leftovers.

The recipe that FF mentions is similar to one I saw Michael Chiarello prepare on an old episode of Easy Entertaining (I so miss his shows but I digress....). I've always wanted to try it but have never done so. It sounds delicious and appears to be ridiculously easy.

oooh I'm making that spaghetti tonight! Think I'll pair with some wilted greens and torn prosciutto. Is it time for dinner yet?
