- Comments: This is a pasta dish served with the classic "red" sauce, a combination of tomato, basil and garlic.
- With this simple dish the presentation is very important and helps to make it special.
- Wine Recommendation: I like Chianti.
- Forget those raffia-covered bottles of the past, Chianti now boasts some of Italy's greatest wines.
- But you have to be careful.
- Look for names like Antinori, Altesino, Villa Cafaggio, Fontodi, Terrabianca, E. Ricasoli-Firidolfi and Castello di Querceto.
- Or possibly ask your friendly wine shop proprietor for advice if the labels all seem too complicated.
