Chianti is the natural choice for spaghetti, with enough acidity to match the tomatoes. I had a good bargain recommended to me at the wine shop, the 2006 Strozzi Chianti ($10). Seeing it was young, I let it breathe for a solid hour, after which it showed soft, lush plummy fruit and just a bit of leathiness to give it some backbone. If you find this one in the store, pick up a few bottles for simply pasta or pizza meals!
