🇮🇹 Spaghetti all’Assassina
A dramatic Apulian pasta dish where spaghetti is “killed” by frying in a spicy tomato sauce.

Ingredients:
200 g spaghetti
400 g passata (tomato purée)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp red chili flakes
3 tbsp olive oil
500 ml water (or vegetable broth)
Salt to taste

Instructions:
1️⃣ In a pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and chili flakes, sauté for 1 minute.
2️⃣ Pour in passata and a pinch of salt, cook for 5 minutes.
3️⃣ Add uncooked spaghetti directly into the sauce, spreading evenly.
4️⃣ Gradually add water, letting the pasta absorb it slowly while crisping slightly at the bottom.
5️⃣ Cook until pasta is al dente and slightly charred at spots, about 15 minutes.
6️⃣ Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh basil.
