boiling pasta in wine
« on: January 24, 2013, 06:55:01 AM »
A friend of mine did this.  I did not taste any difference, but the pasta had a different color.  Anyone else do this?

My mom tried it and decided it would be better to just drink the wine and eat the pasta.  :D

The red wine stained the pasta, but she couldn't taste a real difference.

seems like an expensive way to cook pasta. You can just throw some beet juice or food coloring in there for the same effect and just tell everyone it was wine :D

That seems super wasteful.

But maybe :!: if it were cheap red wine, you could boil the pasta in the wine, then drain the wine into a separate pot, add some oranges, cinnamon, maple syrup, and fireball whisky (my secret ingredient!) and make mulled wine?

The wine would still be kind of starchy.

I dunno.  How does boiling pasta in wine that you were no longer willing to drink taste?
