The crispy, caramelized edges give the pasta a unique texture that sets it apart from traditional spaghetti. The smoky, slightly charred flavor pairs perfectly with the rich, tangy tomato sauce, and the heat adds just the right amount of intensity. It’s not your typical pasta it’s daring and full of character. While it might not be for everyone, if you’re looking to break away from the usual and try something with a punch, this dish is definitely worth experiencing. It’s a thrilling twist on classic spaghetti that leaves a lasting impression.\n\n03 of 10\n\n![]()\n\nPhoto by  Lorraine Baker\n\n02\/19\/2025\n\nEasy to follow\n\nGreat flavors\n\nA keeper\\!\n\nMy husband likes spicy foods and I just got done making this!

We were quite skeptical about not boiling the pasta. However we said that you have not ever let us down so we went for it. Like you said the spaghetti crunchy bits were just like the edges of a Lasagna but much more flavorful. The heat was perfect. The next day we took the leftovers and made two piles in the skillet. We made a little WELL in the top and broke a RAW EGG in to the WELL. We then covered it for 5 min until the EGG was set. WOW THAT WAS GREAT as well. We again will call you the BABE RUTH of the culinary arts. Because you HIT ANOTHER ONE out of the BALLPARK.ALL HAIL CHEF JOHN. We are looking forward to our next experience with you. Thanks again.\n\n05 of 10\n\n![]()\n\nPhoto by  Todd W\n\n05\/25\/2023\n\nThis is an excellent recipe! My sons groaned when I said I was making spaghetti, then proceeded to devour this dish when I put it in front of them. I made it just as Chef John instructed with a couple of small tweaks. 1) I used canned tomato puree, so added a pinch of sugar to help mitigate any metallic flavor, and 2) I sauteed some shrimp in olive oil with a bit of the reserved tomato broth to give the dish some added protein. It was perhaps a little too spicy for my wife, but apparently was tasty enough for her to push through. I will definitely be making this again.\n\n06 of 10\n\n![]()\n\nPhoto by  Claire Grover\n\n04\/25\/2023\n\nWe LOVED this!!!We've made it twice, once with gluten free spaghetti brown rice noodles, and once with typical spaghetti noodles. I'm very surprised to report that we liked it slightly better with the rice noodles. They crisped up so easily and nicely and had (dare I say it) such a lovely texture. First time in all of time that gluten free wins!As per the options in the notes, we used jarred pasta marinara instead of tomato sauce\/paste. It was so lovely. Otherwise, every detail was made according to the recipe, from sizzling the fresh garlic in oil, to browning the noodles before turning and adding more sauce.As noted by other reviewers, don't be afraid to char these little guys. The browned bits are the best part. Every member of my family loved this dish. We'll definitely be making it again!Also, per the video, you don't need cheese. I know, it seems counterintuitive, but there's so much going on \"flavor-wise\" that adding cheese would be a mistake, in my opinion.\n\n07 of 10\n\n![]()\n\nPhoto by  LubinVA\n\n02\/16\/2023\n\nIn a word ... intense! A unique eating experience that I will definitely make again. The way the charming and repeated saucing concentrates both the heat and tomato sauce is fantastic. I followed the recipe exactly and served it \"dry\".\n\n08 of 10\n\n![]()\n\nPhoto by  JollyBread3862\n\n02\/04\/2023\n\nThis recipe turned out lovely. It's very spicy (two teaspoons of chili flakes!) but worth it. The reduction of the sauce and the frying of the spaghetti gave it such a delicious, even rich texture; it's hard to describe because I've never had this texture of pasta before. You really do have to burn it, and I will be less timid about having to char it the next time I make this (maybe tomorrow!). The crispy bits really were the best, but the rest wasn't a slouch. Fantastic recipe and I always appreciate Chef John's videos.The only thing I did differently out of necessity was use a can of tomato paste plus generous amounts of water to make my base tomato puree before adding the rest of the water called for in the recipe\n\n09 of 10\n\n![]()\n\nPhoto by  Michelle Annette\n\n02\/02\/2023\n\nThis was so fun to cook and the taste is amazing!

There's something a little bit suspicious about the origin story of this "to die for" pasta's name. Sure, a customer jokingly asking the chef if they're trying to "kill them" with this intensely flavored Spaghetti all'Assassina is sort of believable, but I've always felt like there was much more to the story. Hey, can we get a few of these true crime podcasters on the case? Anyway, regardless of the real story (possibly involving the Medicis, and probably also the Opus Dei), this spicy, partially pan-fried spaghetti dish is as unusual as it is incredibly delicious. As the head assassin, you get to decided exactly how spicy and charred this gets, but as I said in the video, the sweetness and acidity of the caramelized tomato sauce balances the heat from the chili flakes, so don't worry about using a heavy hand. The cheater method for this recipe involves boiling the spaghetti for four or five minutes first, then draining, before pan-frying and saucing as shown. This may be a little more user-friendly method, but you just won't get the same, very unique texture. Having said that, if you have a large non-stick, or very well seasoned cast iron pan, this really isn't hard to pull off. Either way, I really hope you give this a try soon. Enjoy\!

Great flavors Spaghetti all'Assassina is a bold and unforgettable dish. The crispy, caramelized edges give the pasta a unique texture that sets it apart from traditional spaghetti. The smoky, slightly charred flavor pairs perfectly with the rich, tangy tomato sauce, and the heat adds just the right amount of intensity. It’s not your typical pasta it’s daring and full of character. While it might not be for everyone, if you’re looking to break away from the usual and try something with a punch, this dish is definitely worth experiencing. It’s a thrilling twist on classic spaghetti that leaves a lasting impression. 03 of 10 ![]() Photo by Lorraine Baker 02/19/2025 Easy to follow Great flavors A keeper\! My husband likes spicy foods and I just got done making this! Turned out really good! I had to get a picture before he covered it w/ parmesan cheese....lol. 04 of 10 ![]() Photo by Loves2cook 07/24/2024 A keeper\! Great flavors Easy to follow Worth the effort Crowd-pleaser Family favorite Thanks Chef John,We were looking for something new and interesting when we found this recipe of yours. We were quite skeptical about not boiling the pasta. However we said that you have not ever let us down so we went for it. Like you said the spaghetti crunchy bits were just like the edges of a Lasagna but much more flavorful. The heat was perfect. The next day we took the leftovers and made two piles in the skillet. We made a little WELL in the top and broke a RAW EGG in to the WELL. We then covered it for 5 min until the EGG was set. WOW THAT WAS GREAT as well. We again will call you the BABE RUTH of the culinary arts. Because you HIT ANOTHER ONE out of the BALLPARK.ALL HAIL CHEF JOHN. We are looking forward to our next experience with you. Thanks again. 05 of 10 ![]() Photo by Todd W 05/25/2023 This is an excellent recipe! My sons groaned when I said I was making spaghetti, then proceeded to devour this dish when I put it in front of them. I made it just as Chef John instructed with a couple of small tweaks. 1) I used canned tomato puree, so added a pinch of sugar to help mitigate any metallic flavor, and 2) I sauteed some shrimp in olive oil with a bit of the reserved tomato broth to give the dish some added protein. It was perhaps a little too spicy for my wife, but apparently was tasty enough for her to push through. I will definitely be making this again. 06 of 10 ![]() Photo by Claire Grover 04/25/2023 We LOVED this!!!We've made it twice, once with gluten free spaghetti brown rice noodles, and once with typical spaghetti noodles. I'm very surprised to report that we liked it slightly better with the rice noodles. They crisped up so easily and nicely and had (dare I say it) such a lovely texture. First time in all of time that gluten free wins!As per the options in the notes, we used jarred pasta marinara instead of tomato sauce/paste. It was so lovely. Otherwise, every detail was made according to the recipe, from sizzling the fresh garlic in oil, to browning the noodles before turning and adding more sauce.As noted by other reviewers, don't be afraid to char these little guys. The browned bits are the best part. Every member of my family loved this dish. We'll definitely be making it again!Also, per the video, you don't need cheese. I know, it seems counterintuitive, but there's so much going on "flavor-wise" that adding cheese would be a mistake, in my opinion. 07 of 10 ![]() Photo by LubinVA 02/16/2023 In a word ... intense! A unique eating experience that I will definitely make again. The way the charming and repeated saucing concentrates both the heat and tomato sauce is fantastic. I followed the recipe exactly and served it "dry". 08 of 10 ![]() Photo by JollyBread3862 02/04/2023 This recipe turned out lovely. It's very spicy (two teaspoons of chili flakes!) but worth it. The reduction of the sauce and the frying of the spaghetti gave it such a delicious, even rich texture; it's hard to describe because I've never had this texture of pasta before. You really do have to burn it, and I will be less timid about having to char it the next time I make this (maybe tomorrow!). The crispy bits really were the best, but the rest wasn't a slouch. Fantastic recipe and I always appreciate Chef John's videos.The only thing I did differently out of necessity was use a can of tomato paste plus generous amounts of water to make my base tomato puree before adding the rest of the water called for in the recipe 09 of 10 ![]() Photo by Michelle Annette 02/02/2023 This was so fun to cook and the taste is amazing! Thanks Chef John\! 10 of 10 ![]() Photo by Carin Schwartz 02/02/2023 So rich and delicious.

Readable Markdown	### Spaghetti all'Assassina – Was This the Original "To Die For" Recipe? There's something a little bit suspicious about the origin story of this "to die for" pasta's name. Sure, a customer jokingly asking the chef if they're trying to "kill them" with this intensely flavored Spaghetti all'Assassina is sort of believable, but I've always felt like there was much more to the story. Hey, can we get a few of these true crime podcasters on the case? Anyway, regardless of the real story (possibly involving the Medicis, and probably also the Opus Dei), this spicy, partially pan-fried spaghetti dish is as unusual as it is incredibly delicious. As the head assassin, you get to decided exactly how spicy and charred this gets, but as I said in the video, the sweetness and acidity of the caramelized tomato sauce balances the heat from the chili flakes, so don't worry about using a heavy hand. The cheater method for this recipe involves boiling the spaghetti for four or five minutes first, then draining, before pan-frying and saucing as shown. This may be a little more user-friendly method, but you just won't get the same, very unique texture. Having said that, if you have a large non-stick, or very well seasoned cast iron pan, this really isn't hard to pull off. Either way, I really hope you give this a try soon. Enjoy\!
