Spaghetti all'assassina is a typical dish from Bari cuisine, famous for its strong and spicy flavor. The name "assassina" refers to the strong and bold character of the dish, which is prepared with spaghetti cooked directly in a spicy tomato sauce, browned until it becomes almost caramelized. The trick is that the spaghetti, instead of being boiled separately, are toasted in the tomato, absorbing all the flavor and becoming crispy at the edges. Chili pepper, garlic, olive oil and sometimes a little broth are then added to obtain the right consistency. The dish is an explosion of intense flavors, and is perfect for those who love spicy and savory foods.
