Corte d’Assise Sauce

Straight from the streets of Reggio Calabria, this sauce was created at a restaurant in 1958.

One late night as the chef was closing up, some court judges showed up, famished, and asked for something Calabrese (which means “spicy”). The chef created a delicious-fiery pasta dish right on the spot. When asked what it was called, he said it didn’t have a name, so the judges christened it “Spaghetti alla Corte d’Assise.” Which is the Italian court that deals with harsh criminals. Oh yes, this sauce is the OG of all things saucy and Calabrian.
