Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb Italpasta Spaghetti
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 bottle red wine, preferably Zinfandel
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 clove garlic
  • 1 pinch chili pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
US – Metric

Instructions

  • Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water for 4 minutes. Drain pasta and return to the pot. Place the pot back on the stove over medium-high heat. Add the wine and sugar and bring to a boil. Cook for 6 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  • While pasta cooks, heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and chili flakes and cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add the breadcrumbs and continue to cook until toasted, about 5 minutes. Season breadcrumbs with salt and pepper.
  • Increase skillet temperature to medium-high heat. Add the spaghetti and any remaining liquid, toss for 1 minute. Remove from heat and serve garnished with Parmesan cheese.
