Spaghetti all'Assassina (Attentäter-Spaghetti)
Spaghetti all'assassina is Bari's famously "burnt" pasta: raw spaghetti seared directly in a garlicky, chili-laced tomato base, then fed ladles of hot tomato broth like a risotto. Because the noodles never see a pot of boiling water, their starch toasts and caramelizes against the skillet, giving you strands that are chewy in the middle and crackling, smoky, and mahogany-charred at the edges. It is fiery, a little dramatic, and unlike any other tomato pasta you have made.
