RED WINE SPAGHETTI WITH PANCETTA
An easy pasta, and a good one for every cook's repertoire, this dish - known as "drunken" pasta, spaghetti ubriachi (or all'ubriaco) or pasta alla chiantigiana - requires few ingredients: red wine, onions, olive oil and grated pecorino. It can be made without meat, but usually it contains a small amount of pancetta, guanciale or Italian sausage. Well-seasoned and hearty, red wine spaghetti makes a fine impromptu meal.

Steps:
- Put a large pot of well-salted water over high heat and bring to a boil. Add 1 cup wine and turn heat to low.
- Heat olive oil in a wide skillet over medium. Add pancetta to pan and let sizzle for 2 or 3 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Raise heat slightly and add onion. Season with salt and pepper and stir to coat. Continue to cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add garlic, red-pepper flakes and tomato paste, and stir to distribute. Add bay leaf and all the remaining red wine and turn flame to high. Let wine reduce rapidly by half, about 10 minutes. Turn off heat.
- Bring pasta water back to a boil, add pasta and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes less than the package directions advise - that is, keep the pasta quite firm and underdone. It will finish cooking in the sauce.
- Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water, and drain the pasta. Add pasta to the red wine mixture in the skillet and turn heat to medium-high. Let pasta wilt into the sauce and continue cooking, stirring, as pasta absorbs the sauce. The spaghetti should be correctly al dente within a few minutes and the sauce should coat the pasta. Add a little pasta cooking water if sauce gets too thick.
- Stir in the reserved pancetta, the butter and half the grated cheese and toss well. Taste a noodle, and add a sprinkling of salt to the pan if necessary. Toss once more and transfer to a warm serving dish. Garnish with basil leaves and pass remaining cheese at the table.

TAGLIATELLE WITH MUSHROOMS IN RED WINE
This hearty, umami-rich pasta dish is easily assembled in less than an hour. For the best texture, use your hands and not the food processor. Chopping the mushrooms and crushing the tomatoes by hand ensures some uniformity. The sauce can be prepared in advance, since you will summon the powers of the cooking water from the tagliatelle. Use more, if needed, to moisten the mixture before serving.

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large (12- to 14-inch) skillet or sauté pan. Add pancetta and cook on medium until lightly browned. Add mushrooms, strew with some salt and continue to cook until mushrooms have softened and most of the liquid in the pan has evaporated, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in onion and garlic, and cook another 5 minutes or so until the onion starts to brown.
- Add tomatoes, wine and anchovy paste. Stir well and continue to cook until the liquid in the pan reduces and thickens somewhat, another 5 minutes or so. Season with pepper and more salt if needed. Fold in parsley and remaining oil, and remove from heat.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook pasta about 4 minutes, until al dente. Remove from heat. Use tongs to transfer pasta to the skillet, with some of the pasta water still clinging to it. Reserve another cup of the pasta water.
- Reheat mixture in the skillet, folding mushroom mixture with pasta for several minutes. Add additional pasta water as needed so the mixture is moist but not soupy. Transfer to a large, warm bowl and serve, with grated cheese alongside.

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.

SPAGHETTI WITH RED WINE SAUCE
From Mark Bittman's "Quick and Easy Recipes" from the New York Times. The pasta takes on a fruity acidity from the reduced wine--smoothed by the last-minute addition of butter--and a beautiful mahogany glaze. This is a good side dish to a grilled meat or fish.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Put the oil, garlic and hot pepper in a large, deep skillet.
- When the water boils, add the pasta; turn the heat under the skillet to high. Cook the pasta as usual, stirring. As soon as the garlic begins to brown, sprinkle it with salt and pepper to taste and add three-quarters of the bottle of wine (a little more than two cups); bring to a boil and keep it there.
- When the pasta beings to bend--after less than five minutes of cooking--drain it and add it to the wine mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, adding wine a little at a time if the mixture threatens to dry out completely.
- Taste the pasta frequently. When it is done--tender but with a little bite--stir in the butter and turn off the heat. When the butter glazes the pasta, serve it immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the right wine: Not all red wines are created equal. For this recipe, you'll want to choose a light- to medium-bodied red wine with good acidity, such as a Pinot Noir or Sangiovese.
- Don't overcook the pasta: Spaghetti should be cooked al dente, or still slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and bland.
- Use high-quality pancetta: Pancetta is a type of Italian bacon that is cured with salt and spices. It has a smoky, slightly salty flavor that pairs perfectly with the red wine and spaghetti.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to your taste: This recipe is a starting point. Feel free to add more or less garlic, red pepper flakes, or Parmesan cheese, depending on your preferences.
- Serve with a side of crusty bread: Red wine spaghetti is a hearty and flavorful dish that pairs perfectly with a side of crusty bread. The bread can be used to soak up the delicious sauce.
Conclusion:
Red wine spaghetti is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its combination of rich red wine, smoky pancetta, and al dente spaghetti, this dish is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
