Rotwein-Nudeln (Red Wine Pasta With Spring Onions) image

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.
