The peculiarity of this dish comes from the fact that the sauce is completely raw, you just need to cook the spaghetti. The other ingredients are simple, humble, and give a sublime flavor to this first course, which is very quick to make. The marranzanu, also known as marranzano or scacciapensieri, is a typical Sicilian musical instrument made of wrought iron, whose name comes from referring to crickets due to its monotonous and repetitive sound.
