aka Assassin's pasta. Has anyone made this? Looks fantastic. The process is similar to cooking risotto. I'm going to give it a try later this week.

Kind of similar to the Mexican dish fideos. You fry/toast the pasta in oil and then cook in spicy tomato sauce.

The only time Italians are okay with cooking pasta in the sugo. Be sure you burn the bottom a bit too. I've made it and start with two garlic cloves in oil until they about burn, add in some Calabrian dried chili peppers (whole if you have them, and chop up). Remove the garlic and add passata and the spaghetti, cover and let it bubble.

Finally got around to making this. Made for my fam so I did not follow traditional recipes which call for a lot of chili's. The al dente texture is different to the boiling method. The flavor really got absorbed into the pasta. The process is a lot making risotto. You fry/brown the pasta the ladle in the sauce a little at a time.

I'm trying to figure out how to post the pics...

We tried it ONCE. Wasn’t happy with the results at all. I think we had too much pasta for the skillet, but still I couldn’t really see anything that feel I would have liked even if done right.
