What Are Italian Drunken Noodles?
Italian Drunken Noodles is a one-skillet pasta dish where wide egg noodles are tossed with Italian sausage, bell peppers, onions, garlic, and a savory tomato-wine sauce. It’s a fusion recipe that combines the comfort of Italian pasta with the carefree richness of wine and fresh herbs. The dish gets its “drunken” title from the generous use of white or red wine, which enhances the sauce and infuses the noodles with a subtle depth of flavor.
