It's made with long, thin pasta, to which you add an egg, bacon and sheep's milk cheese. Here's the real recipe...\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Afterwards, of course, everyone adds their own ingredient to complete this gourmet dish!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Both colors can be used to accompany your dish. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">If you opt for a white wine, it should be dry but round, with an aromatic framework of white fruit or stone fruit. Certain whites that have been slightly oxidized after spending some time in barrels without topping up are also very interesting for pairing with the smokiness of bacon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1 class=\"western\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/alain-gallety\/cuvee-gallety-blanc-2018-cote-du-vivarais-domaine-gallety.html\"><span style=\"color: #ffc000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">&gt; Cuv\u00e9e Gallety white - C\u00f4te du Vivarais - Domaine Gallety\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/h1>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Our C\u00f4te du Vivarais will be perfect! Its majority of Grenache Blanc will bring the necessary fatness to the dish. Roussane and Marsanne will do the work to give character and a light minerality to the wine. A wonderful discovery, for a still little-known appellation. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1 class=\"western\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/jean-francois-ganevat\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">&gt; De toute beaut\u00e9 - Domaine Anne &amp; JF Ganevat\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/h1>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The estate continues to surprise with a special blend. 80-year-old Gamay grapes from its Fleurie parcel are blended with the estate's Pinot Noir. We might as well tell you that this is a fruit bomb, rich and powerful without too much tannin. Just the right amount to accompany the power of the cheese without overpowering it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><b>Bolognese Pasta<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">This time we're traveling to the Bologna region, where the recipe for Bolognese sauce originated. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">And even if the traditional recipe mentioned by a delegation from Bolivia in 1982 mentions the ingredients that could be used in its preparation, it was often twisted to suit the \"sauce\" of each individual. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">For the record, the Spaghetti Bolognese we know is more likely to come from Naples, where the rag\u00f9 of Naples is closer to this recipe than the real rag\u00f9 of Bologna. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">A red wine is recommended to accompany the dish, as the sun-drenched sauce calls for a spicy, rich-tasting red wine. Wines from the Rh\u00f4ne Valley or Languedoc without too much tannin are ideal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1 class=\"western\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/cote-du-rhone\/cotes-du-rhone-2019-les-deux-albion-st-cosme.html\">&gt; Cote du Rh\u00f4ne \"Les Deux Albion\" - St Cosme<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">An old estate, the two Albion de Saint Cosme offer a powerful, dense red with good substance. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The wine offers warm red fruit, peony and violets, and a markedly spicy finish. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Its light ageing in wooden and then stainless steel vats produces a full-bodied, mouth-watering wine. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1 class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/puech-noble\/puech-noble-2017-domaine-rostaing.html\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">&gt; Puech Noble - Domaine Rostaing\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/h1>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Not to be confused with Puech Haut, Domaine de Rostaing, a major estate in the Northern Rh\u00f4ne Valley, is a master of Syrah, which is present at 80% in this cuv\u00e9e. Black fruits, pepper and sweet spices emerge from this magnificent cuv\u00e9e.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><b>Pasta with truffles\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Pasta with truffles is surprising in more ways than one. It allows you to use pasta that you wouldn't normally cook, such as linguine or mafaldine. Truffles can be prepared in a number of ways. The simplest is to prepare a delicious truffle cream.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Several truffles are more aromatic than others, such as the black truffle from P\u00e9rigord or the white truffle from Alba in Italy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">To accompany this dish, both colors are suitable, but only if they have tertiary, undergrowth aromas. For both colors, we recommend Burgundy wines that have aged a little, around 8-10 years for the reds and 6-8 years for the whites. This ageing time will be sufficient to develop the aromas that accompany truffles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1 class=\"western\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/meursault\/meursault-1er-cru-2016-genevrieres-louis-latour.html\"><span style=\"color: #ffc000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">&gt; Meursault 1er cru Genevri\u00e8res - Louis Latour\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/h1>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Surely one of the highest-quality parcels of Meursault's premier crus, Genevri\u00e8res offers remarkable minerality. Louis Latour has understood this. After all these years, the Chardonnay develops notes of white truffles, which mingle with a very mineral, fat finish. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1 class=\"western\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/volnay\/volnay-1er-cru-2012-le-clos-des-chenes-dominique-laurent.html\">&gt; Volnay 1er Cru Le Clos des Ch\u00eanes - Dominique Laurent<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">For red Burgundies, it's best to avoid overpowering appellations. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">So avoid C\u00f4te-de-Nuits wines, with the possible exception of Chambolle, and concentrate on the more supple C\u00f4te-de-Beaune AOCs. The wines of Volnay, for example, offer very silky, complex and fine Pinots Noirs. Dominique Laurent's ageing will enable the wines to stand the test of time, offering notes of humus and earth after a few years. Perfect with truffles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><b>Pasta with Pesto\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Pesto is a bit like Bolognese sauce: there's the traditional recipe based on genovese basil, pine nuts, cheese, olive oil, garlic and parsley, and then there's everyone's own recipe. The rule is to keep the sauce fresh but not overpowering!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">To match it, white wines are the best choice, as they accompany the dish without overpowering it. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Wines made from Macabeu will be superb with pesto, as they have a slightly minty aroma, but we recommend wines made from the more common Sauvignon Blanc for this dish. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/domaine-vacheron\/sancerre-2018-chambrates-domaine-vacheron.html\"><span style=\"color: #ffc000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>&gt; Sancerre Chambrates - Domaine Vacheron\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Domaine Vacheron's Sancerre is the perfect accompaniment to this dish. Its 100% Sauvignon is surprisingly rich. Notes of citrus, fresh fruit and acacia flower will soften and round out the power of the pesto.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffc000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/chablis\/chablis-1er-cru-2019-vaillons-jean-paul-et-benoit-droin.html\">&gt; Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons - Jean-Paul and Benoit Droin<\/a>\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Chablis is also an ideal accompaniment to pesto. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">This fine Chardonnay starts out full-bodied and opulent, with white fruits, and finishes with a hint of lemon.
