A Perfect Pairing: Homemade Pasta and Red Wine

In the world of culinary symphony, few duets enchant the taste buds quite like the harmonious blend of homemade pasta and a robust red wine. Elevate your dining experience as we embark on a journey to create delectable homemade pasta paired with the perfect red wine, making your dinner a celebration of flavors and togetherness! 🍝

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 large eggs
• A pinch of salt
• 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Instructions:

1. On a clean surface (or large bowl), make a mound with the flour and create a well in the center.
2. Crack the eggs into the well and sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and add the olive oil.
3. With a fork, gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs until a dough forms.
4. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth, seal it airtight with saran wrap, then let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
5. Roll out the dough and cut it into your desired pasta shape. You can use a pasta machine to help shape and roll your dough.

Cooking the Pasta:

1. Boil a pot of salted water.
2. Cook the pasta (we recommend in small batches) for 1.5 - 2 minutes or until al dente.
3. Drain and toss with your favorite sauce. Add a spring of basil for some decor! Some great side dishes are bruschetta, caprese salad, or garlic bread. 

Wine Pairing: Red Elegance 🍷

Wine Recommendation: Chianti Classico

The rich, tomato-based sauce of your homemade pasta deserves a wine with character. Enter Chianti Classico, a red wine from the heart of Tuscany. With its bold red fruit flavors and a hint of spice, it complements the savory notes of the pasta, creating a culinary synergy that is nothing short of magical.
