Steps:
- Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil.
- Make the bread crumb gremolata: Heat the olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the bread crumbs and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the bread crumbs are golden brown, 2-4 minutes. Transfer the bread crumbs to a heatproof bowl.
- Add the parsley, lemon zest, and salt and stir to combine. Set aside.
- Make the drunken bucatini: Once the water is boiling, add the bucatini and cook until just shy of al dente, 6-7 minutes. Reserve ½ cup (240 ml) pasta cooking water, then drain.
- While pasta is cooking, heat a large, high-walled skillet over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring constantly, for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the pan and continue to stir for about 1 minute more, until the garlic starts to brown.
- Add the red wine to the pan and cook until reduced by about 25%, 2-3 minutes.
- Add the drained bucatini to the pan and toss gently with tongs. The wine will reduce more as the noodles cook through and soak up the wine, 2-3 minutes.
- Add the remaining 5 tablespoons of butter, the salt, and pepper. Toss until the butter is melted and the pasta is silky, about 2 minutes.
- Divide the pasta between 2 bowls and top with the bread crumb gremolata. Serve immediately.
- Enjoy!

[email protected]This pasta dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but my husband loved it. The sauce was very creamy and flavorful, but I found it to be a bit too heavy. I think next time I'll try making it with a lighter sauce.
