Corte d'Assise Sauce

$14.99

Straight from Calabria, this spicy tomato sauce was originally created at a restaurant in my nonna’s town of Gioiosa in 1958. One late night as the chef was closing up, some court judges showed up, famished, and asked for something Calabrese (which always means spicy). The chef created a spicy 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 tomato sauce is spicy and very Calabrese.
