Pasta All’Ubriaco made with fruit wines





26 July 2026



Imagine my delight when I learned about Pasta All’Ubriaco aka Drunken Pasta. Yes, that’s right, it’s an Italian dish where the pasta is partially cooked in a wine sauce!





Here’s the recipe I used for my test batches: in a sauce pan, sauté 1 tablespoon of minced garlic in a combination of 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add 1 cup of wine along with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs to taste and gently reduce to a total volume of 1/3 over medium low heat. While the sauce is reducing, cook your desired pasta for 3 minutes less than the recommended time and drain. Once the wine is done reducing, you can thicken using cornstarch if desired, although I usually skipped this step. Keeping the sauce simmering, add the pasta and cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring regularly to make sure that all the pasta is exposed to the sauce. Serve with desired add-inns and top with your cheese of choice.


Boun appetito!



Apricot Pasta All’Ubriaco



This dish was topped with sautéed chicken and finely shredded asiago cheese. The pasta picked up a tangy and fruity taste with a clear apricot flavor profile. One improvement for when I make this again: use a little less pepper to not overwhelm the apricot!



Blackberry Pasta All’Ubriaco



With it’s deep purple coloration, Blackberry Pasta All’Ubriaco had a deep blackberry flavor complimented with peppery oregano that was a perfect complement to the cheesy, saucy chicken.



Blueberry Pasta All’Ubriaco



Blueberry Pasta All’Ubriaco picked up some color from the source wine along with light, fruity, and herbal flavor profile that was clearly a berry but not obviously blueberry. This pasta was served with plant-based meatballs and grated parmesan cheese.



Cranberry Pasta All’Ubriaco



Slightly reddish in coloration, Cranberry Pasta All’Ubriaco picked up both the colors and the flavors of the wine. Overall tart and herbal, the pasta had a clear and distinct cranberry taste that paired very nicely with turkey sausage and provolone cheese.



Peach Pasta All’Ubriaco



Fruity and with a touch of peach, Peach Pasta All’Ubriaco was superb topped with shredded Romano cheese and paired with grilled salmon.



Plum Pasta All’Ubriaco



Plum Pasta All’Ubriaco picked up a slight purplish coloration from the wine and tasted of peppery plums. This pasta was matched with sautéed plant-based crumbles and topped with shredded gouda cheese



Raspberry Pasta All’Ubriaco



With it’s deep red coloration, Raspberry Pasta All’Ubriaco had a bright, distinct raspberry flavor profile that was punctuated with savory garlic. This pasta paired excellently with plant-based meat balls and topped with parmesan cheese.



Strawberry Pasta All’Ubriaco



Bright strawberry flavors pop with the first taste of Strawberry Pasta All’Ubriaco and are balanced with a hint of sweetness. This pasta was a great match with chicken apple sausage topped with mozzarella cheese.
