Onion: Contributes a savory and aromatic foundation, elevating the dish’s flavor complexity. Chorizo sausage: Infuses a smoky, spicy kick, complementing the richness of the red wine and adding depth to the sauce. Tomato paste: Provides a savory base for the sauce. Kale: Adds a vibrant burst of color, along with added nutrition, balancing the richness of the dish. Parmesan cheese: For a savory, cheesy finish. Sea salt: Enhances all of the other ingredients.
Chianti: This Italian red wine has a moderate acidity and medium body that pairs well with tomato-based sauces. Merlot: A soft and velvety red wine that that gently adds flavor without overpowering. Cabernet Sauvignon: A bolder and more robust selection for a full-bodied flavor.
Pair alongside a brussels sprouts ceasar salad, the texture of the brussels, tangy ceasar dressing, and savory parmesan contrast the heartier spaghetti. Pairing the red wine spaghetti with other vegetable sides will add texture and nutrition, like roasted broccoli or holiday roasted vegetables. To make it even heartier, add a protein like grilled chicken breast or some baked pork chops.
