Inferno spaghetti or hellish spaghetti, a spicy and simple pasta dish made with tomato puree, garlic, black olives, capers, hot chili, good olive oil, and Worcestershire sauce, one of those recipes that cook up in an instant, practically while the pasta is cooking, the sauce is prepared. The infernal sauce spaghetti is very appetizing, my whole family loved it, and think about it, in 15 minutes they’re ready to be served. Besides spaghetti, you can make the recipe with linguine, egg spaghetti, or any other type of long pasta, and don’t forget to add a generous sprinkle of chopped parsley.

Add the capers, black olives cut in half, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and cook for 15 minutes over low heat, stirring often, then remove from heat.
Cook the spaghetti al dente, drain and dress with the freshly prepared sauce, add chopped parsley and serve.
Storage and Tips
Storage: Inferno spaghetti is best eaten immediately, otherwise it can be stored for one day. I recommend reheating it before consuming again.
Tips: If you add anchovy fillets, they will be even more flavorful.
I used my homemade tomato puree, if buying, I recommend a rustic puree or canned tomatoes.
