Killer Spaghetti (Spaghetti al Sasina)
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.
