Spaghetti all’assassina

Killer spaghetti from Bari, Puglia:

When Italian chef Celso Laforgia dropped raw pasta into a pan with oil and aromatics, but not a drop of water, Stanley Tucci was shocked. 

“Honestly, I’ve never seen anything like that before,” Tucci said during an episode of “Searching for Italy.” “I love that. And I’ve been around, too.”
