Pine Nut and Raisin Pasta Sauce image

What an Italian might eat late night, suits me since sometimes we don't go to the grocery till 8 pm, and finish eating around 1 am (i. e. exemplary status, and I quote).

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

14 ounces spaghetti
1/4 cup golden raisin
1/3 cup chicken stock
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons pine nuts
2 large garlic cloves, sliced thin
1 1/2 teaspoons red chili pepper flakes
salt
1 teaspoon dry white wine
chopped parsley (optional)
pasta, cooking water if desired

Steps:

  • Set the pasta water to cook with a copious amount of salt.
  • Soak the raisins in the stock. Microwave them on high for 1 minute, if desired. Set aside.
  • Put the oil, garlic and chili's into an 8-inch skillet with a generous pinch of salt, (and black pepper, if required).
  • Set the heat to medium or medium-high, sizzle, without stirring, until the garlic becomes colored a faint gold.
  • Add the raisins with their liquid, the mixture will bubble abruptly.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the wine.
  • Drain the pasta, reserving a little water, if desired.
  • Transfer to a tossing bowl and pour in the sauce, add parsley if desired. Toss well. Coat each with the sauce.
  • The raisins will likely gather in the basin, for presentation purposes, it is wise, to transfer the hot, cooked pasta to a serving dish.
