snugglekittyLast night I made Red Wine Spaghetti with Broccoli.
I followed the recipe almost exactly, which is something that I rarely do. I was tempted to omit the red pepper, because one of my guests does not have much of a tolerance for spicy food. However, even with the pepper, it was mild in flavor, so I recommend keeping that in. It was also great to have something to do with a low-grade bottle of wine someone had brought to one of our parties, other than drinking it.
The only thing that I did change was the cheese - I was out of Parmesan and substituted some dry Italian cheese and some mild dried goat cheese. When I make this dish again, as I'm planning to do, I will definitely do it with Parmesan or perhaps an Asiago. The recipe is fairly simple, and the cheese is expected to contribute a lot of the subtley of flavor.
Great with sweet potatoes on the side. Four stars.
