If you think spaghetti is just pasta with tomato sauce…
You haven’t met Spaghetti All’Ubriaco.
Also known as “Drunken Noodles”, this isn’t your average pasta dish.
It’s spaghetti steeped in red wine, simmered into a rich, fragrant sauce that’s bold, savory, and deeply satisfying — like Italy itself poured into a bowl.
No, it won’t get you drunk.
But one bite just might make you feel a little tipsy — from the flavor.
Let’s dive into this rustic Italian classic — a dish that’s equal parts comfort, celebration, and culinary magic.
🍇 What Are Italian Drunken Noodles?
Spaghetti All’Ubriaco translates to “Spaghetti Drunk” — and it earns the name by cooking the pasta in wine, not water.
Instead of boiling spaghetti in plain water, it’s simmered in a bold mixture of red wine, broth, garlic, herbs, and tomatoes — soaking up deep, complex flavors with every strand.
The result?
