"Rotwein-Nudeln Mit Fruehlingszwiebeln, from a Betty Bossi cookbook (Switzerland). A Swiss friend prepared this for me when I was living overseas. It is a simple but tasty dish. The salt helps the pasta absorb the red wine color. I have translated the recipe from German so it may need some tweaking."

Excellent balance of flavorful (wine) pasta with contrasting white alfredo sauce with the blessed sliced green onions. If you have an otherwise beige dinner, check this out! I use sauces and dressings as an accent, using the least amount needed to set off the dish, so I didn't need to feel guilty. Still, I will experiment on ways to make a very tasty sauce but diminish the sinful elements. I had previously made Recipe #353717 #353717, but this turned out an even more intense deep burgundy. The liquid amounts are sufficient to cook the pasta; I used two $6.99/ 750-ml bottles of Australian Yellowtail Merlot, which left me 500 ml of nice drinking wine for my meal. By all means, keep the abundance of sliced green onions; they flavor the sauce and make this dish sing. The cost of the wine is the cost of garnishing; everyone needs to shake things up once in a while! Thanks for sharing this recipe, I shall definitely make this again! Made for Spring 2009 Pick A Chef.

Well I made this with a Concord wine that was undrinkable. My Boyfriend said â€œdifferentâ€� but later said he would probably be craving it in a few weeks. We decided next time to use a better wine and Iâ€™m sure it will be much better. We also have an allergy to onions so I substituted celery and added some mushrooms. Experiment was a success and the wine was put to good use. Thanks

I love cooking for family and friends. I especially enjoy baking...it is like combining art and science to create something extraordinary. I am most known for making desserts like Recipe #336060. My pet peeve: when people sign-up to bring dessert to a pot-luck or dinner party and they bring something pre-made from the store. My friends and family now know to always let me bring the dessert. :) I enjoy traveling and believe that one of the best ways to experience a culture is through food. I have lived in Germany, Spain and Switzerland, and currently live in the US. My rating system: 5 stars - Excellent! Delicious! Could not be better...will make often. 4 stars - Very good! May tweak slightly. 3 stars - Good base recipe. Will need to tweak. 2 stars - Ok. Will keep looking.
