Has anyone used grapes in a pasta recipe?

I had some chicken marinating in red wine %26amp; some grapes left over, %26amp; thought they'd go well together. So I broiled the chicken, sauteed some scallions %26amp; garlic in evoo, added the grapes %26amp; chicken, reduced it %26amp; added it to some al-dente linguine. Very surprising! It's delicious!

Nope, but next time I make my 'Everything, but the Kitchen Sink Pasta,' I will give it a try.
I can imagine it would be tasty. After all, Arby's puts grapes in their chicken salad...very delicious.

Do raisins count? If they do then try using them in a ';fortified'; meat sauce over any fresh pasta and add fresh parsley.
No but I have heard of it.
