Not actual DFH beer.

Yes, a repeat of the beer style and food style from last night.  It was such a winner, and I was in the mood for pasta.

This is the same homebrew that Doug recently paired.  Highly phenolic, fruity and spicy.  Close to four years old, but this is a style that ages very well.

The pasta was a chance to clear some stuff out of the fridge while still creating an excellent meal.  We had a little left in a jar of vodka sauce, a little alfredo, and a little sour cream that all needed to be cleared out.  Plus some italian dressing seasoning, a can of diced tomatoes, the remaining cloves in a head of garlic, and some ground beef.  Also, half a bag of shredded mozzarella and half a bag of a blend of parmesan cheeses.

My preference would have been to put this with penne, but we only had a few scant noodles of that sitting in the bottom of a box.  So I poured that in but had to add a lot of macaroni to fill things out.  After it was all cooked, I put it in a casserole dish and topped with all the cheese and baked for 20 minutes until the cheese was lightly browned.

Good results on the pasta, and again, a Belgian strong dark went nicely.  Yum.
