| Spaghetti all'assassina (Assassin's Spaghetti) is a famous pasta dish from Bari, Italy. Instead of boiling the pasta, you cook it in a frying pan with successive additions of olive oil, garlic, chili, water and tomato paste. The pasta becomes charred and (we thought) quite delicious. The origin of the name is disputed — maybe the cook is trying to kill you with the hot chili peppers! Len didn’t use an excess of hot pepper, and we enjoyed the result. |
