Spaghetti all'Assassina. This was fun and the result was excellent. EVOO, crushed red pepper, 1 Thai birdseye chili, garlic, tomato paste and San Marzano tomatoes. Burning the pasta and tomato on the bottom of the pan yields an earthy, crunchy intense tomato flavor that you can't get any other way. I'm doing it again with cast iron to burn the pasta more and intensify the deep rich flavor and texture. Took forever to make and I don't have a set of skinny tongs to twirl the pasta in a ladle so it was a one shot photoshoot and then pour a glass of Bordeaux and eat kind of night.
