Feed The Resistance: National Pasta Day!

Back in July, I made a delicious French Onion Pasta and Dee paired it with a Dunkel beer from Warsteiner. Towards the end of our conversation that day, she suggested that any Smoked Porter would also go really well with the pasta, which got me to thinking that my friend Jesse makes a great Smoked Porter French Onion Soup – it’s one of the soup selections every Friday at MidTown Pub. With that in mind, for National Pasta Day, I thought I would do a little twist on the French Onion Pasta, and make it a Smoked Porter French Onion Pasta. Once again, it’s basically pasta with a sauce that’s pretty similar to French Onion Soup, but this sauce has a bit of Central Waters’ Mudpupppy Porter infused into it.

To pair with the pasta, Dee brought in a Toasted Porter from Einstök, which is brewed in Iceland. The beer looked like it would be really heavy, but it drank like a much lighter brew. There were coffee notes, which usually turns me off of a beer (or just about anything else), but it worked perfectly with the pasta.
