Spaghetti All'Assassina with bratwurst

Spaghetti all'Assassina is an Italian dish in which spaghetti is cooked in a spicy and aromatic tomato sauce. This speciality originates from the Italian port city of Bari, which is located in the Apulia region. The name can be translated as "murderer-style spaghetti". There are various theories about the origin of the name. On the one hand, murderer could refer to the hot spices, or the term comes from the fact that the pasta is not cooked in salt water, as is traditionally the case, but fried in a pan with the sauce and thus "killed". But no matter where the name comes from, one thing is certain: this pasta dish tastes murderously good.

However, you will find a modified version of the killer spaghetti here. In addition to the usual ingredients, we add our European Championship bratwurst . This was created especially for the European Football Championship and is seasoned with black pepper, black sesame, Peppadew and turmeric. This seasoning gives it a spicy taste that perfectly complements the spicy spaghetti. In addition, the spices give the European Championship bratwurst the colors of the German national flag. In combination with this Italian recipe, you can create the perfect meal for an Italy versus Germany game.

Preparing Spaghetti all'Assassina is relatively simple, but requires an unusual approach. First, heat up a large pan. Then cut the garlic into fine pieces and fry it with the chili in olive oil. Then add our sausage and roast it until it is crispy. Then pour the strained tomatoes over everything. Now comes the special thing: instead of cooking the pasta in the normal way, add the raw spaghetti to the sauce and cook it there with the other ingredients. This gives it the intense aroma of the spices and combines extremely well with the tomato sauce. It is important to let the pasta fry a little before stirring it, this way it gets the roasted aromas and caramel notes that are typical of the dish. Now just let the spaghetti simmer for a few minutes and keep adding a little warm water until it is al dente, similar to how you prepare risotto. For an even more intense taste, you can add tomato paste to the water. Depending on your preference, you can season the dish with chili flakes or our burger seasoning.

Of course, you can also prepare this recipe without our EM bratwurst . This even makes it vegan. Or as a vegetarian version by sprinkling the finished dish with freshly grated Parmesan. However, if you like things a little more unusual and bratwurst is a must for any meal, then try it with our Salsiccia Bratwurst . With its Italian seasoning, it rounds off the pasta perfectly. Or you can go for our Cheesy Gonzales , which is a bratwurst that has been refined with cheese, Peppadew, and jalapenos. With its spicy note, it complements hot spices perfectly.
