Spaghetti all'Assassina

Method

1. Prepare a tomato broth by mixing water and tomato passata in a pot; add a tablespoon of double concentrated tomato paste and bring to a boil.
2. In a pan, heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, add crushed garlic and chili pepper, and sauté.
3. Add some tomato passata to the pan and let it come to a simmer.
4. Add the dry spaghetti directly into the pan, stirring gently to avoid breaking them.
5. Gradually add the hot tomato broth one ladle at a time, keeping the heat high.
6. Occasionally stir the spaghetti gently.
7. Season with salt gradually.
8. Continue adding broth and cooking until the spaghetti are almost done.
9. When nearly cooked, stop stirring and let the spaghetti cook on high heat so the bottom becomes crunchy and charred.
10. Finally, drizzle with a thread of olive oil, let it crisp up, and serve immediately.
