Pasta has to be one of my favourite things on the planet. Seriously. I would do anything for a nice bowl of pasta. I mean look at this face! >>>
Does this look like a face that says no to pasta?
I don’t think so.
So when my co-worker, Kerby, came in with this beautiful creation using only items I carry, I was excited. Plus, it uses Mia’s Kitchen’s Butternut Bourbon Pasta Sauce, a newer item the Vineyard Market added to our vast list of delicious products. And you know me, I’m all about finding a pairing to enjoy with your meal.
This time it’ll be our wine of the month instead of a cocktail. This month we have Piattelli Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2016. Finding a perfect summer Cabernet is hard, but we’ve made it easy with this fantastic wine. At $10.98 this is a great value for this Argentinian gem. With it’s well-rounded dark berries, hints of spice and chocolate, and smooth tannic finish; this is the perfect bottle to enjoy all year long with any meal.
But today, we’re going to enjoy it with some Butternut Bourbon Bratwurst Pasta.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 jar Rao’s Roasted Red Peppers
- 1 jar Mia’s Kitchen Butternut Bourbon Pasta Sauce
- 1lb Garofolo Pasta (whatever type you’d like)
- 16oz Brooklyn Bangers Cheddar Bratwurst (ground or cut into pieces)
Add water to a pot with a touch of salt and begin to boil. Once boiled add pasta and cook according to instructions on container.
Take the pasta sauce and peppers to another pot and put on medium-low. Use an emmulsion blender to mix the two together, leaving it some chunks of peppers. Cut up the bratwurst and add to the pasta sauce.
Once the pasta is cooked add both to a bowl and serve. I added some fresh grated pecorino romano to mine and it was divine!
