Creamy Tomato Rigatoni + Blaufränkisch: An Unexpected Symphony Of Flavor | Chefs At Home

Derrick C. Westbrook—Chicago sommelier and Wine Enthusiast 40 Under 40 tastemaker—is taking a simple Italian dish, Creamy Tomato Rigatoni, and pairing it with an unexpected wine, Austrian Blaufränkisch. Pairing an Italian dish with an Austrian wine may seem rule-breaking, but Derrick encourages you to push boundaries to create a symphony of flavors! This classic red cream sauce has a richness from the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, and starchy pasta, acidity from the whole peeled tomatoes, and heat from the red pepper flakes that pairs perfectly with the flavor profile of the Blaufränkisch. Even the slight herbaceous notes of this red wine accentuate the parsley garnish. To engage all your senses in the experience, Derrick suggests pairing this meal with classical music! #Tomato #Rigatoni #Pasta #Italian #Recipe 0:00 Introduction 0:26 Pairing Classic Rigatoni with Austrian Blaufränkisch wine 1:09 How to make Rigatoni pasta 5:13 Finished Creamy Tomato Rigatoni 5:53 Creamy Tomato Rigatoni & Blaufränkisch Taste Test (Derrick makes Mary-Frances Heck's recipe: https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/creamy-tomato-rigatoni) Check out Derrick’s playlist here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/36F4r1bEm0YtWYExpWqr5T?si=4aed3189475f4944 Thanks for watching!
