Ingredients

  • about 8 ounces of your favorite pasta
  • olive oil for the baking sheet and sauté pan
  • 2 cups Wine Marinated Grapes
  • 2 cups thinly sliced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh sage
  • ½ cup marinade from the Wine Marinated Grapes
  • 8 ounces Mascarpone
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ cup pasta water
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Cook about 8 ounces of your favorite pasta, and when you drain it, be sure to reserve about ¼ cup of the pasta water! Set it aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F, and coat a baking sheet with olive oil.
  • Strain your Wine Marinated Grapes, being sure to save the marinated liquid! Measure ½ cup of the marinade and set it aside. Place 2 cups of the grapes on the olive oil-coated baking sheet, sprinkle with salt, and generously season with the pepper.
  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the grapes until they are sizzling and beginning to brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, coat a large sauté pan with olive oil and place it over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until they are soft and beginning to caramelize, about 10 minutes. Add the sage and cook until it's very aromatic, about 30 seconds. Deglaze the pan with the reserved ½ cup of the wine marinade, and over low heat, stir in the Mascarpone. Once it's blended, add the balsamic vinegar and reserved pasta water.
  • Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
