Wine Tip
Grape Juice
While the adults are enjoying wine, the little ones can say cheers with a glass of grape juice. The sweetness of this red fruit juice harmonizes with the full-flavored dish very well, and leaves a mild aftertaste behind.
Step 1
Cook spaghetti in salted, boiling water according to package instructions, until al dente. Drain and set aside.
