Drunken Italian Noodles
We’re not saying that you have to pour yourself a generous glass of chianti to enjoy while you put this pasta dish together, we’re just saying…we don’t hate the idea. Forget that jar of pasta sauce and look forward to a peppery, herbaceous, acidic drunken pasta dinner instead. Get yourself some crusty garlic bread while you’re at it, you deserve it.
