THE KILLER SPAGHETTI - Italy’s Sexiest, Fried Pasta
===========
In this video, discover 'Spaghetti all'Assassina'- Italy's most bizarre, fried pasta recipe!
This Italian pasta recipe comes from Bari, Puglia in Italy. It originated in the 1960's.
The iconic way of cooking Spaghetti all’Assassina (Killer Spaghetti) requires that the spaghetti to be cooked entirely in a pan, so you’ll need a pan that can accomodate the pasta without the need of breaking it. In the video, we are using a 14” (36 cm) pan.
After frying the spaghetti, we cook it slowly like a risotto-adding a few ladles of hot tomato broth at a time.

[@carlcolvin8320]

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.

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. 😂

[@tonyc.4392]

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.

[@Rid_Of_Thee]

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

[@techny1549]

Cannot wait to make this dish this is on another level. Even growing up in a 100% Italian Neighborhood in Brooklyn NYC never once seen or heard of this dish. Thanks for Sharing this Paisano 🤝

[@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!

[@TheStupidicus]

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.

[@mollywolly4201]

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.

[@juliodefreitas157]

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

[@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. 😅

[@alizarincrimson123]

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.

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.

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

[@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.

You say to use a 14 inch pan. But what if you only have a 10-inch burner? Can you still use a 14-inch pan? Or will it prevent the pan from heating properly?

[@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!

[@nyc132132]

As a former dishwasher I totally disagree with this cooking methods.

[@mrorlov2706]

Is it ok to boil the pasta before frying it?

[@PiattoRecipes]

Hi Mr. Orlov -In this case, the unique feature of the dish is that the pasta is fried, THEN slowly cooked in the tomato broth like a risotto. You'd simply have a refried spaghetti if you boiled the pasta and then fried it.

[@Jo3sX]

I first saw this dish as a short video and assumed the comments would be full of angry Italians.

[@PiattoRecipes]

Nope, it’s a real Italian recipe ;)

[@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.
