Does it have to be a cast iron pan?? Is there another pan that can be used.

[@florecitadelcampo13]

In Mexico we have a dish called fideo seco, we fry at first noodles, once they are golden, we pour a tomato sauce mixed with onion, garlic, when the pasta is ready, and the sauce it’s almost dry, we serve it with queso fresco, sour cream, cilantro and avocado…. It tastes amazing

[@PiattoRecipes]

That sounds amazing!! We love Mexican food :) Is there any authentic Mexican food channel you can recommend to us?

[@agentit8182]

Oh, my. This sounds yummy.

[@hoggboyy]

You should really try toasting the pasta in the oil before adding the sauce. Trust me, you won't regret it!

[@ttakamiorama]

In Chinese food there are soooo many recipes for pan-fried noodles. It is crazy that this is not explored more in Italian cuisine!!!!

[@uomopene]

We have a lot of fried pasta recipes

[@workdesu]

i think it is because the italians like their food simpler

[@nordfresse]

But dont they cook them first and then fry them in China? This risotto-style pasta cooking was new to me actually.

[@ekot0419]

This is similar to making risotto. Except with pasta and also dried. Instead of cooking in water, it is cooking in soup or sauce while reducing the water. Actually if I have the time. I will cook my starch this way from now on. I am Chinese. People say that Italian took noodles from China. I think its time for us to learn something from Italians! Cooking this way makes the pasta or rice taste so rich. Absolutely amazing. I call this Italian Chow Mien :)

[@Ce13stialBunny]

It is extra funny cause pasta came to Italy from China!

[@DearProfessorRF]

If only in Ennio Morricone had been alive to compose another musical masterwork for this recipe.

I get really aggravated with myself when I watch an intriguing and delicious sounding dish being made when I had already decided on a bologna sandwich for dinner. 😂

[@TheSparrowLooksUp]

Ah, yes, the old routine of eating a bologna sandwich for dinner while watching youtube and pretending youre eating assassin spaghetti.

[@crankfastle8138]

the spaghetti isn't much more expensive than the sandwich.

​@@crankfastle8138 perhaps he has already spent his money on the bologna

Made it tonight after watching the Tucci episode. Absolutely phenomenal and easy! I agree, the taste is so different than regular pasta w/ red sauce.

[@TheSparrowLooksUp]

honestly, pan frying noodles this way opens up a HUGE avenue for all sorts of amazing flavors and textures. well done. I bet that dish tasted amazing.

[@AABTBS]

Like what for example 😮‍💨? I just made this version and while eating it I was wondering where else can I expand this basic pasta frying technique to, What other flavours and sauces would work... - Would love to get new ideas 🍝!

[@coffeefromhell3206]

I tried your recipe adjusted for one serving, and damn that's one intense dish. The pan took a slight beating but nothing a quick re-season can't fix. It can handle more killer spaghetti. Thanks so much for the share, will be on this phase for a while.

I prepared this for the first time and I’m hooked. Whole different taste to spaghetti. Amazing flavors.

[@mereen750]

I tried it and they were sticking but they were not getting crispy, no matter how much they stick

[@pbee73]

I made this with red pepper flake but I am not into spicy foods much, I like the texture and that charred flavor of the spaghetti. I made it again using only red belle pepper and liked it even more. My broth was made of tomato sauce and water 1:2 ratio (1 cup sauce to 2 cups water). I do not dilute my broth too much so it reduces and thickens as it cooks into the pasta leaving this ragu type sauce coating the spaghetti. I add my tomato paste (1 tbsp) to the pan with the garlic and belle pepper. I liked it non spicy and the flavor was still intense. Will definitely be doing this dish again. I used a large seasoned cast iron skillet

[@sohara....]

Am guessing one can make it with a Le Creuset style ceramic pot. Hopefully

[@rodrigoalgarte7872]

I cook it. It was perfect. The best pasta I've ever eaten. I made it a little bit spicier and it was wonderful. The bottle of wine went in 2 minutes. 😅

that pasta is really cinematic. You sit down to eat, and suddenly you’re in a culinary thriller-“Is it too spicy? Is it not spicy enough? Will I survive this meal?" You have to stick to the end to know it. It’s pasta with suspense!

[@PiattoRecipes]

[@JasonwithaJay]

If you're finding this, do what chef says not what he does. Blitz a large can of san marzanos and add 2.5 cups of water. So much better than tomato paste broth.

We use Day old Spaghetti olive oil, Butter Red Wine and Parmesan & Romano cheese to get the burn this is much faster, and is so good. I like the way you do it, too. I call it Fried Sicilian Spaghetti.

[@raisony909]

I made this, but i cheated by preboiling the pasta, i also cheated the sauce with pasta marinara. I did add tomato paste to the pasta sauce and water and added it slowly as i charred my preboiled pasta. The pasta was preboiled because my pan wasn't big enough, and i didn't want to break the pasta. 😂 Then, once the prepwork was done, I made sure my pasta still had bite to it and began pan frying it. I slowly began adding the sauce. Only to forget THE SPICE! So very fast, i added in some habaneros into the sauce and took it to the blender. Finally, i began to continue adding my sauce until, like the video, the pasta was done cooking. It turned out amazing the char blended well with the tomato sauce, and the Spice was amazing too!

[@serkanbertan984]

how do you clean the pan after this pasta?

[@tgood5527]

I brown the noodles first in olive oil. I put my red sauce in the blender and add water.

[@CertioriBarista]

Intresting in the 80's we called that fried spaghetti in the States on the EastCoast. With no microwave, we would reheat leftover spaghetti in a pan with little butter and light brown suger or hot sauce of choice 😋

[@juliodefreitas157]

Yummy 😋..thank you for sharing your killer recipe 😋😋❤❤

[@anthonytriolo3643]

In Sicily pasta that is left from previous day is fried the same way,nice and crispy.

[@Aazrl]

Is there actual 'taste' reason not to break the pasta if we don't have big enough pan? I don't want to be arrested by italian police, but my largest pan is about 1cm too short

[@PiattoRecipes]

😅 no taste reason. Feel free to cut till length of your largest pan and we promise to keep the pasta police off your back ;) We didn’t mention the cutting option to keep them off ours 😉

You can make this with leftover spaghetti too. Just make it crispy and caramelized 😊

[@PiattoRecipes]

It looks like re-heated spaghetti (which is delicious too), however as we explain in the video, the texture and flavor of the Assassina Pasta is actually quite different due to the way it is prepared.

[@jacktanner7738]

[@criptyque]

I'm not sure what the difference between the tomato paste and tomato puree in the recipe is. Are they interchangeable? Or is the tomato paste meant to be passata? Here in the UK at least, tomato puree comes in a squeeze tube

[@criptyque]

Edit - I found the answer from the written recipe - the puree is meant to be a passata, I think

[@PiattoRecipes]

Hi criptyque- tomato puree is unseasoned tomato sauce (tomato pulp blended to a liquid). You could make it yourself by blending whole canned tomatoes (after you've removed the seeds and most of the liquid in the can). I see from some research that in the UK what we call 'puree' is called 'paste' there. ...And what the US calls tomato 'paste' is also called 'concentrate' in the UK (and sometimes in the US as well). The 'paste' is what we have added to the water to make the tomato 'broth' - it is very thick, highly concentrated tomato product that can be squeezed out of a small tube. Sometimes in the United States, paste is also sold in small cans. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!

[@kdotwilly7935]

[@Anwelei]

Huh, i wonder if this is the origin of my mother's recipe for fideo, a Mexican-American dish. The pasta is fried in the pan first before adding a tomato based broth to cook the pasta. either way that pasta looks amazing.

[@buildingeverything3267]

It looks like you're using a seasoned carbon steel pan, but I always thought cooking tomatoes on such a pan would take off the seasoning. Does that ever happen to you with this dish?

[@PiattoRecipes]

Well-seasoned carbon steel pans can withstand a tomato sauce without the seasoning needing to be redone. Poorly seasoned pans can be stripped by the acidic tomato. Obviously if you're planning to make a sauce and cook on a carbon-steel pan for hours then it's a different story.
