My Weird Pairing

I would say pasta is one of my favorite foods of all time. This would be easily be a comfort to choose right off the bat. Usually my list consist of they typical foods that most would pick. That is like hotdogs, cheeseburgers, and mac and cheese. Just love how Italian food has usually all these different flavors. The sauce makes the whole meal perfect and brings the dish together. The two sauces I use for the pasta is Alfredo and Marinara sauce. By far my favorite is the Marinara sauce any day of the week. My favorite Italian dish Baked Ziti. That is pretty much what I order every time going to Olive Garden. The cheese and the sauce make the whole dish so good. Of course can't help to get some wine with it too. That is what my story is going to be about. My combination of Baked Ziti with Moscato wine. Not sure if this is a weird pair, but this is mine.

Throughout the years my alcoholic taste have been more towards wine. Mainly because it is a sweeter taste and not so bitter. Safe to say then that beer is not my cup of tea. Not a fan of the almost like plant taste. Then the after taste does not do it for me. Feels like easier to enjoy wine and drink it slowly. Still won't forget when trying something that had wine and could easily drink more than one. Beer in a funny way almost reminds me of coffee with coffee beans taste. Even then I am still picky and only get a specific type at Starbucks. Plus with wine it makes me look fancy and classy. Have always like things that taste sweeter in general. My favorite wines are the yellow ones out of them all.

Pasta is one of my favorite dishes to make because it's simple. Just need to boil the water and put the noodles in. I do like how there are different types of noodles. One day could be noodles then the Ziti. Then comes mixing the sauce and boom, nice steady ready to eat meal. This dish has a special spot in my memory since that's when I would hang out with a friend. We both love Italian food so we tend to go to Olive Garden. Of course with what’s going on that cut back the amount we can go. Then of course have to have the cheese too. So satisfying when getting a piece and the cheese stretches. Then there is also the stuffed Ziti at Olive Garden which taste so good too. That is another one of my favorites from there. Would eventually like to get really good at cooking so it's just as good as Olive Gardens.

Eventually would like to get really good at cooking and experiment with adding more like spices. Seeing if it turns out good is an adventure for sure. Want to figure out my likes and dislikes for different foods. It will help me become more self sufficient. Also provides a learning experience for me in my future. Just trying to make something that's fancy and be at a high end restaurant. That has actually been a thought, recreating foods I love from different places at home. Want to push myself and that could save a lot of money. Right now it's so easy to get take out and not even think about it. Those two things will always have a special place in my heart. Whenever I just need something easy that is a to go meal for me.
