This perfect paccheri pasta dish offered up by the Cerea Brothers is the ultimate comfort food.
Easy to concoct on a week night or at the beginning of dinner with friends, Decanter recommends pulling the cork, or turning the screw cap, of a light, easy-drinking red. Italian whites will also work, but the lighter reds will show fantastically well against the rich tomatoes and sautéd vegetables.
Gamay from Beaujolais, younger light reds from Southern France, Blaufränkisch from Austria and Dolcetto from Piedmont are just a few to look out for; but to find the authentic Italian match, head to Sicily and the grape Nero d’Avola.
