Killer Spaghetti (Spaghetti al Sasina)

Recipe by NOT ANOTHER COOKING SHOW

A fiery, caramel‑charred spaghetti dish inspired by the legendary “Killer Spaghetti” of southern Italy. The pasta is toasted in oil, then cooked risotto‑style with a rich tomato‑garlic sauce, chili flakes and a touch of basil. The result is a smoky, slightly crunchy noodle with deep, concentrated tomato flavor and a spicy kick.

Critical Success Points

  • Toasting the raw spaghetti evenly without burning.
  • Scraping the caramelized bits from the pan’s bottom during each reduction.
  • Maintaining high heat while preventing the sauce from scorching.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can splatter – keep a lid nearby and stand back while sautéing garlic.
  • Pan handles become extremely hot on high heat; use oven mitts.
  • Flare‑ups may occur when adding sauce; keep a safe distance.
