    Spaghetti Al asassina or Killers spaghetti, also known as spaghetti bruciati is a pasta that is so incredibly good, I might kill for it. From Puglia, this recipe breaks all the rules, cooking raw pasta in tomato sauce like risotto until it burns. Sounds crazy but it is one of the most delicious pasta’s I’ve ever had. If you like Chinese Twice Fried Noodles, this is right up your alley.

    My grandmother is a north african jew but she grew up in Italie. Growing up she made the greatest spaghetti but refused to tell anyone how she made it and said she was taking it to her grave. Well your video inspired me to make your recipe today and I didn't quite burn it as much as you did and I can tell you will confidence that this is her spaghetti.

    This is not the traditional method but I think it probably works better. Traditionally we put the passata in the pan first with the chili and then layer the spaghetti in. The broth is just water with some passata or more commonly tomato paste (concentrato).
    This seems like a smarter way to get more flavour in, by having a more flavourful weekday sauce as the base and adding just water on top of it for the risottatura. Love it, and as always, you have found a way to take a classic and make small tweaks to improve it while still maintaining authenticity and respect for tradition. Bravissimo.

      What kind of twisted logic are you using? If the dish gets cooked with bronze die pasta instead, the final product will become a lot more pasty like goo. Go ahead if you want to cook tomato pudding with crispy spaghetti but stop spreading bullshit.

    I made this for the first time a few months ago and it was really good! I had some doubts as to whether I could pull it off in a home kitchen, but it was fairly straightforward. The 2 most important things to know are that 1) you need a deep enough pan for all the splattering that will happen, and 2) like risotto you really can't take your eye off it for too long, and at the end not at all. The intense, deep, charred tomato flavor is really something to experience.

    I so want to do this. A keeper for sure. Got all the ingredients (except the fresh basil, but no problem). What's the problem with cast iron, though? I have the stainless pans to do it without that, but I think this would benefit the cast iron even more.

    You mentioned maybe using nonstick pans instead of iron. You really shouldn’t use nonstick at high heat. Most manufacturers have a warning not to do this because the material can’t handle that level of heat.

      Imagine saying in the same sentence "safety concerns arouse about cast iron" and then recommending a non-stick pan. Ngl i haven't heard a more biased (and blatantly untrue) sponsor segue in quite some time

    Read an article about this Assassin's Spaghetti couple of years ago, only difference concerning the origin story was that the customers said something along the lines of 'Surprise us, cook us anything you like - so long as it's a dish to die for'. Get work as always, more power to you.
