In the meantime, in another pan, fry a clove of garlic for a couple of minutes with a drizzle of oil. Then add the spaghetti and immediately moisten with hot water.
2 Stir for a few moments to soften the pasta and then pour in a ladle of the reheated sauce. Crumble a dried chili pepper and continue to moisten the pasta with hot water.
3 At the end of cooking, remove the garlic and add the remaining sauce. Season with salt and finish cooking by raising the temperature, leaving the bottom to burn to make the pasta crispy and golden. Your spaghetti all’assassina are ready, serve them piping hot, decorating with fresh basil as desired.
