Cooking tips

Dissolve the tomato paste in a small amount of water first to prevent lumps and easily make tomato water.
The key to the assassin's pasta's deep flavor and chewy texture is toasting the uncooked noodles directly in the pan instead of boiling them.
Do not add all the tomato water at once; pour it in small amounts to scrape up the charred sauce from the pan bottom and coat the noodles as they cook.

Recommended for

Those who want a much deeper and more intense umami than regular tomato pasta.
Those who want to make an impressive Italian pasta in one pan while reducing dishes.
Those who want to enjoy a chewy, thick noodle texture with a unique cooking method.
