Spaghetti al fuoco di bacco: red wine pasta to bring something special to the table

Main Dish

When spaghetti soaks up red wine and is enriched with chili pepper, black olives and mature cheese, it makes a dish that packs a punch! Created by chef Luigi Ammirati, this revisited classic of Calabrian cuisine promises an explosion of flavors between spicy notes and deep aromas of wine. The chili pepper awakens the taste buds, the cheese brings a creamy touch, and everything balances wonderfully for an intense and gourmet result. If you like recipes with character, this is the one for you :)
