French fries all’assassina, or assassin’s French fries, are inspired by one of Italy’s most unusual and delicious pasta recipes, spaghetti all’assassina. Intensely savory from caramelized tomato paste and cheese, with a sweet and sour note followed by a building, spicy heat from cayenne and pepper flakes, these fries are the complete opposite of one-note.
