"Goth Pasta"
(I named it that because of the deep red colors, but it's really...)
recipe follows
INGREDIENTS
1 bottle of inexpensive but tasty red wine (I used a $12 bottle)
approx 1 lb rotini pasta or similar
1 lb. sweet italian sausage
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
parmesan cheese (optional)
approx. 2 1/2 cups salty water
olive oil
Bring salted water to a boil and drop pasta. Pour about 3/4 of wine in to boiling pasta and boil as per regular directions. Drain.
Form sausage into miniature meatballs. Pour a very thin layer of olive oil in to bottom of a skillet enough to coat the bottom. Cook meatballs until brown. Pull and drain.
While your meatballs cook, lightly steam the cauliflower florets in a covered microwavable bowl with a bit of water until just about fork-tender, (high temp, about 3-4 minutes, depending on your microwave's power). Set aside.
De-glaze the skillet with the remaining red wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a spatula or spoon. Stir around and reduce wine by about half. Toss the meatballs, pasta and cauliflower together in sauce and warm through. Serve warm and top with parmesan cheese if desired.
