Pasta dish combines tastes of grapes, sausage

Don't be turned off by the thought of grapes and sausage with your pasta.

It's a dish from Andrew Carmellini's cookbook, "Urban Italian," and it makes complete sense.

"These are, in fact, all the flavors of the Italian grape harvest time: sage; meaty, spicy sausage; and, of course, sweet young grape juice," he writes in the book. "I've just put it all together. It's totally delicious. Trust me."

If you can't find strozzapreti pasta, which resembles small, twisted strands of rope, any small, thin pasta will do.
