When I was young and first out on my own, payday could sometimes take forever
.
My favourite party trick to fill my tummy when the cupboards were bare, was to cook up some pasta (because there is always a bag of pasta, right?) and stir tomato sauce through it
.
Uh huh. Even then, I was a culinary genius, lol
.
Well this recipe is going to rock your freaking world because it’s almost as simple as my famous tomato sauce spaghetti
.
The perfect last minute date night meal, especially if you want to extend date night to breakfast
.
It takes zero cooking skill. If you can boil water, you can make this recipe
And it is crazy delicious!
.
I highly recommend grabbing a couple of really good quality bottles of Shiraz, like this incredible one from my friends over at Gomersal Wines, and keeping them tucked in your cupboard for a date night emergency
The better quality your wine is, the better your dish will taste – trust me on this one
.
Now, go and try this for yourself and get back to me
.
Is it better than tomato sauce spaghetti?
.
Enjoy!
Ingredients
750 bottle of good quality Shiraz
2.5 cups of water
350 grams of tubular spaghetti, gluten free works really well
2 tablespoons of olive oil
3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons of parsley, finely chopped
2 tablespoons of toasted pine nuts
4 tablespoons of grated parmesan
Directions
- Pour 2 ½ cups of the Shiraz and the water into a large pot and bring to the boil.
- Add the spaghetti and cook until just done according to package instructions (approx 8-10 minutes)
- Drain the pasta but retain ⅓ cup of the cooking liquid.
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and add the garlic, cooking until it is browned and fragrant.
- Add the reserved cooking liquid and the rest of the Shiraz and bring to the boil.
- Boil for a couple of minutes to bring all of the ingredients together then tip the drained spaghetti into the sauce, tossing until well combined and coated.
- Serve with pine nuts, parsley and a scattering of parsley.
