Instructions

1

Bring equal parts red wine and water to a boil in a wide, deep pan.

2

Add spaghetti and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring frequently.

3

In a separate small pan, warm olive oil with sliced garlic and chili flakes until fragrant.

4

As pasta absorbs the wine and turns deep red, keep adding a splash of hot water if needed.

5

Drain any excess liquid, then toss pasta with the garlic oil.

6

Finish with fresh parsley and parmesan. Serve immediately.

💡 Chef's Tip

Use a drinkable but inexpensive Chianti or Merlot — the wine flavor really comes through.
