Fried Killer Spaghetti: the Italian Recipe That Breaks all Pasta Rules | Claudia Romeo

I like the fact that even a spaghetti recipe that breaks all Pasta Rules still doesn't break the legendary rule: never break the pasta before cook it

"Dude, you burned the spaghetti" "When I do it, it's called scorched"

Every drunk single dad in America right now is sharing this video with his kids. 😂😂😂

I've made this purely by accident numerous times over the years 😂and always thought the crispy carmelization was absolutely delicious. ❤

I love how he doesn't simply state 'it's tradition' but explains why the tradition is important to follow for practical reasons :)

Many years ago, there was a restaurant near to my work that made fried spaghetti, and I went there weekly and ordered it every time. The owner eventually retired, the new owner stopped making fried spaghetti, and I haven't had any since — in fact, I've never even heard a mention of fried spaghetti or encountered any other restaurant that made it. Out of the blue yesterday, I remembered that restaurant and its fantastic fried spaghetti, and thought "I wonder if that's something I could make myself?" I didn't do any kind of search for fried spaghetti online or anything like that, but now, a day later, out of nowhere, here's this video in my feed, and I'm so excited about this, I'm going to pick up the ingredients tomorrow and make it tomorrow night (and being a creature of habit, probably every week thereafter). Thank you so much for this – or, I suppose, I should say grazie infinite! 🍝

In Mexico there is a very popular traditional meal with fried spaghetti noodles. My Mexican boss had it on his menu and I made it a bunch of times about a decade ago and people absolutely loved it. sopa seca de fideo is what I believe it was.. Amazing dish.

You can tell this chef is very thoughtful about how he cooks food. He thoroughly understands everything that’s happening in that pan. Once you have that level of understanding you can intentionally break the rules to create masterpieces.

Interesting. My Irish grandmother would make exactly this. She learned it during the Great Depression from Italian neighbors. It was messy, but she had many children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren to clean up for her.

This chefs Italian accent is impeccable

This is what I love about next day's spaghetti in the microwave, the crispy pieces that take more heat. I am definitely going to try this!

Are you kidding me, Claudia has her own channel? She was always the best part of Insider Eats. Constantly showing off her infectious love for food, a mellifluous accent, often in some beautiful countryside, always reminded me how much I love European life. Glad to have discovered this channel.

I gave it a shot knowing his ingredients and method are far superior to mine. It came out delicious. Easy to do with patience and attention. A new staple in my kitchen.

That actually looks incredibly easy and can't wait to try this for my family. I know exactly what to do after watching this so thank you!

I’m going to try this. The finished product looks amazing! 😋

So cool how it goes from a big mess in a pan to a neat stylish presentation. This guy is the real deal.

An actual human being who was inspired by Kay's cooking, wow I never would've thought

This is the best I've ever seen this dish look. Definitely inspired to try it now.

thank you chef - first generation here Florida USA - my father was from Bari and that caught my attention - tried this dish and kept a eye on 20 minutes -I did add some homemade red wine and cooked almost burnt to a crisp - we loved it - Did have a side order of fried pork ribs with the same tomato sauce -excellent

I've fried leftover spaghetti for years but I never knew I could skip the middleman and fry it in the sauce itself instead of boiling it. What a lovely idea! It's a mess, but it's a mess I really want to try in my own kitchen now...
