Cook pasta in red wine.
So I'm gonna put half of this or about one pound
into very salted water.
You want the water itself to have flavor.
In the pan, I've already got some good EVOO.
And then we're going to melt our butter
into the olive oil over moderate heat.
And then we're going to add an entire bulb of garlic
that I've grated or you can finely chop.
And some coarse black pepper.
And a little salt in with the garlic as well
to flavor our sauce.
You swirl this around just to get the garlic kind of going
in the butter and olive oil.
And then you're going to put in an entire bottle
of red wine.
I like to use a Rosso di Montalcino from Tuscany.
It doesn't have to be super expensive.
You're going to set a supper time for this.
The wine should reduce three minutes.
So about two minutes after you drop this,
that's when you wanna bring this up to a boil
and let it cook down for three minutes.
Right before we drain the pasta,
we reserve some of the salty, starchy cooking liquid
to marry the pasta with the sauce.
We're going to finish cooking this five-minute spaghetti
in our red wine.
This has been reducing three minutes.
Then we put all of the pasta in with that,
and it will absorb and finish cooking
right down in that glorious hot mess.
And aside from the beautiful color,
there's so much flavor in this dish.
It's so simple and so delicious.
While that's working, bubbling away,
we're going to take our toasted walnuts and chop those up.
Always when you're cooking with nuts or seeds,
take the time to toast them
because it fully develops their flavor.
We run our knife through our walnuts.
I just added one cup of Pecorino cheese,
couple of good, fat handfuls.
And we stir vigorously to coat the pasta
with that nice, tangy, salty cheese.
And then we're going to put in lots of grassy parsley
and lots of chopped nuts.
Mmm.
I know!
(audience laughing)
It is just delicious.
And look, look at that, huh?
(audience clapping)
Woo!
(audience clapping)
(cheering and clapping)
