Spaghetti all'Assassina | Food Wishes

Chef John out there killing it.

You’re the ONLY food YouTuber that makes videos where I’ll save and actually make the recipes. And they have never failed me! Thanks Chef John

I really appreciate that most of your recipes are affordable! My grocery budget is getting tighter and tighter. I can make this for just a few dollars! Thank you!!

Thank you for this recipe! I'm Celiac, and gluten-free spaghetti is especially sad amongst all pasta varieties (too much starch, not enough adhesive ingredients), but this recipe works brilliantly and helps keeps the spaghetti from breaking into billion sad, sad little bits and cooking into gloop -- why didn't I think of braising it myself? Fantastic. Made this with some banana peppers thrown in that needed using up, and it was absolutely sublime (licked the plate clean and had a good, smug, full-bellied nap; no regrets).

What I like about this recipe is that it makes you think about pasta in a different way.

Hello Chef John, I just stopped by to tell you I used your 3 minute "lox" recipe for the first time yesterday, after finding a nice little piece of salmon on sale at the grocery for $9/lb. Being old and retired I've had to give up a lot of special delights over the past year when everything I have to buy went up 50%. No money left for extras. It was a real treat to have cream cheese and lox on sesame Italian toast this morning! Thank you from a poor person!!! Between you and Chain Baker, I can afford to have some good food again. Mayonnaise is next on my list.

Hey Chef John, Ive been a fan for years and this video is no exception. I noticed that you spend a little time in each video to thoughtfully plate your food and I am now finally at the point of my life where I start to care about that sort of thing. Could you do a video about plating at some point? SImple things the home cook to make their food look better than a pile on a plate. I would love that. Thanks again.

I've seen so many attempts at this dish on Youtube, and none of them come even close to how gorgeous this one looks. THIS is the recipe I'll be following.

Immediately placed into my Saved Recipes folder. I'm making it this week 100%. And I'm gonna serve it with 2-3 chunks of buffalo mozz on top, and basil leaves.

This reminds me of the dark ages before the microwave for reheating leftovers. My mother used to reheat homemade spaghetti in a frying pan and it would still be succulent but somewhat crispy (her sauce had onions, peppers and ground beef as well). I had forgotten all about that until seeing this video. Definitely gonna try this out!

I have no words. Tried the recipe and can't stop thinking about this pasta dish since. Will be making this again and again. Plus once more every time I have leftover tomato soup (broth-based). Simply amazing. Why didn't I know of this before!? Thank you Chef John for bringing such joy to my belly.

Chef John, THANK YOU! I cooked in several nice restaurants when I was younger (20+ years ago now), have watched your videos for several years now and while I've made a few of your recipes, more than anything I've watched your content for entertainment and, more importantly, INSPIRATION. I've taken many many elements from things you've done and made wonderful creations all of my own from them. Truly sir, thank you. I really enjoy watching your videos

This is one of my favorite spaghetti dishes. The texture of the noodles is dramatically different from any other baked or boiled pasta.

I never knew you could cook spaghetti this way, I tried it out for my family and everyone loved it.

This is one of the best meals I have ever eaten. I love chef John's creations and have made quite a few but this one was fantastic. Thank you for sharing this recipe and I hope everyone will give it a try.

I made this recipe a million times since this video aired. My kids love it, I love it. I made it like you showed and I also made adaptations with different flavors (i.e., tamari/satay). I love that it's one pot. This is by far my fav of your recipes for taste alone, and the best on the whole internet. It's like the risotto of pasta.

The perfect low cost mega flavour dish which is so simple to make, especially in this cost of living crisis!

If you put it in 0.5x speed, chef john sounds like he ate some shrooms.

I had all the ingredients on-hand to make this pasta already, so I made it for dinner tonight! That was convenient. Anyway, I barely even measured or timed anything while cooking, and it turned out absolutely delicious. Next time I make this—and there will definitely be a next time—I am going to be less timid on the steps where you caramelize the noodles.

I love how simple and straightforward your recipe videos are every time! Even my dog loves watching your recipe videos 😄
