Friends, Romans, pasta-lovers, lend me your tastebuds.
I come to tell you of a (very worthwhile!)
And that’s OK. ## I’ve known about Assassin’s Spaghetti for a while now.
As evidenced by the photo below, Bari is, clearly, to die for!
Geography aside, the rest of the dish’s origin story isn’t 100% agreed upon.
Let’s speed ahead to the 2020s.
I mean, garbage recipes don’t stick around for 50+ years.
Calling all garlic girlies: You’re gonna love this one.
First, you’ll need to gather your ingredients.
Importantly, you’ll also need a 12-inch nonstick skillet.
Nonstick is critical here.
I haven’t tried it in a traditional skillet myself maybe I’m wrong!
but I’d advise you to use your largest nonstick skillet.
STEP #0 before you kick off cooking, PUT ON AN APRON!
Alternatively, wear a shirt you couldn’t care less about.
Bring everything to a gentle simmer, then set it over low heat to keep warm.
Then, add four cloves of garlic, minced, along with 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes.
Conversely, if you want to blow your head off, double to 2 teaspoons.
STEP #4 Here’s where I beg you to read the following directions carefully.
The pasta-cooking element of this recipe will take around 1517 minutes.
DO NOT FLIP OR STIR the spaghetti (!!!)
or move things around too much.
Trust the process even though it feels bad and wrong.
It will be delicious in the end.
I promise I won’t lead you astray.
Again, this is expected.
You’re doing it right!
STEP #7 Add another two ladlefuls of sauce over the spaghetti.
As you twirl the spaghetti around, it’ll start to look like this.
Once mixed up, allow the spaghetti to cook until the bottom starts sizzling and browning.
STEP #8 At this point, taste a noodle.
If it’s cooked and al dente, you’re all done.
You may or may not use all the sauce.
Twirl into bowls, top with some grated parm, and you’re ready to serve.
But to give you a hint, it’s the better-than-marinara sauce I never knew I needed.
