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.

I brown the noodles first in olive oil. I put my red sauce in the blender and add water.
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 😋
I had this in Bari, Italy last week. I'm addicted!
I made this for breakfast but it ended up being dinner!
The italian way to make your life harder..
bro half a cup of olive oil???? jesus christ its going to give me a heart attack
😍
Killer spaghetti. Sounds like really bad horror movie. Maybe killer chicken from Detroit.
So no stainless steel pans? 😢
I tried this, since all the starch stays in the dish it is VERY rich, almost too much.
In Sicily pasta that is left from previous day is fried the same way,nice and crispy.
I made exactly how you did it it was fantastic, thank you for sharing this recipe. God Bless you
nice clean hands and nails – like
cool transitions and takes
great recipe of cause 😉
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!
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!
We call it Albanian pasta in Cleveland.
is this real pasta or just…. unique pasta version to show us "oh.. there is that kind of pasta in this world…."
<3
it's killer pasta because it's so carcinogenic lol

It came out so good that I am afraid neighbour upstairs heard me making weird sounds of Joy. 😅
Looks sexy alright
Can you make this with fresh pasta or only dried???
Im blown away by your recipes thank you for opening my mind to diffrent stuff 😊
Steer on midium hit
I made it and it was really delicious, I might have taken some creative liberties with the chilli peppers and added around triple what was needed. But it ended up really good and pretty spicy as well! Will definitely be making it again in the future!
The puree broth is a little bit sour than the tomato paste but I like it nonetheless
Nice brown? You want bits of it burned.
If anyone else burns pasta in tomato sauce he'll be killed by Italian mafia, if Italians do it, it's gourmet !
Awesome! The frying of pasta gives it that texture and an extra schmek!
Should you take the garlic out before adding the pasta to the pan so it doesn't burn?
How unhealthy is this? Especially due to the charred black parts
