Lucky Luciano and Spaghetti Muddica







SPAGHETTI MUDDICA PALERMITANA

Sicilian Pasta with Anchovies and Breadcrumbs (Muddica)



In Palermo and its surrounding area and other parts of Sicily Pasta Muddica is very traditional Sicilian dish.

Any pasta can be used, but it most often made with spaghetti or Bucatini. The sauce is made with Anchovies and breadcrumbs (muddica), with garlic, olive oil, raisins, Strutto (Sicilian Tomato Paste), and Pignoli Nuts. It is a much preferred past dish, not only for its taste but for its ease and speediness of preparation and the fact that is made with Sicilian (Italian) pantry items usually always on hand in ones pantry, so even if they are out of fresh meat, poultry or fish, and when hungry, you will always have the ingredients on hand to make this dish. So you are able to make a quick and easy meal for yourself, friends, or family at any time you'd like.

It is most certain that Sicilian Mobsters like; Joe The Boss Masseria, Salvator Maranzano, Charles 
"Lucky" Luciano and other Sicilian gangsters ate this dish often at home and New York Sicilian Restaurants like; John's of East 12th Street (still in business), Lanza's on 1st Avenue a couple blocks from Luciano's house and near John's, or Villa Terramo in Coney Island, Brooklyn.



RECIPE : 

6 tablespoons Olive Oil
1/2 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
6 Anchovy Fillets, minced fine
4 tablespoons Tomato Paste
1 pound Imported Italian Spaghetti (or Bucatini pasta)
2 tablespoons Raisins
2 tablespoons Pine Nuts (optional)
1/3 cup plain dry Breadcrumbs 
Sea Salt 


Preparation :


  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season very lightly with sea salt.

  • Heat Olive Oil in a skillet and sauté onions and garlic for about 5 minutes.

  • Add anchovies and cook, stirring and breaking up anchovies occasionally with a wooden spoon.

  • Add tomato estratto, stir to combine with allium-anchovy mixture, and continue to cook until mixture turns dark brick red and is very dry.

  • Transfer 1 cup boiling water from pot to skillet to loosen tomato anchovy mixture, and stir until it becomes well-mixed and saucy. Reduce heat on skillet to lowest possible setting.

  • Cook pasta in the pot of boiling water 2 to 3 minutes less than the package directs.

  • Transfer pasta to sauce, along with 1/2 cup pasta cooking water.

  • Increase heat to high and cook, stirring and tossing rapidly, until pasta is al dente and sauce coats bucatini and just pools around the edges of the pan.

  • Add raisins and pine nuts, breadcrumbs, and toss to combine. Pasta should be well coated but not swimming in sauce (this dish is meant to have a slightly drier consistency than typical sauced pastas).

  • Plate, sprinkle with remaining breadcrumbs, and serve right away.

    Giuseppe Morello

    Had and Italian Restaurant on 8 Prince Street


    The Barrel Murder was committed on at 8 Prince Street. The victims throat was slit, and was put into a wooden barrel, and it was dropped off by  a lumber yard on Avenue D and 11th Street April 14, 1903 ...
    This murder was the first time

    The 107th Street

    207 West 107th Street was the headquarters of the 107th Street Gang of which Giuseppe Morello was the Boss





    November 15, 1909 the Secret Service arrest and have Giuseppe Morello and his brothers are locked up, paving the way for Salvatore Maranzano and Joe Masseria to take over the New york Mob.

    Maranzano and Joe Masseria take over as they split jurisdiction of running the New York Mob into two.









    Joe Masseria


    Emigrating from Castellemare del Golfo, Sicily to New York at age 16 Joe Masseria associated himself with a band of Italian killers and Black Hand extortionists and committed burglaries and other petty crimes, but in 1920 he began to create the power that gave him control or a percentage of the profits of most of the Italian-run rackets in New York. In 1930 he declared war on Salvatore Maranzano  and allied rivals, and some 60 gunmen and leaders on both sides were slaughtered in the resultant gang war. It ended on a Wednesday afternoon in April 1931, when Masseria was himself shot down by his own men while sitting in a Coney Island restaurant called Scarpato’s Nuova Villa Tammaro. The assassins were Vito Genovese,  ALbert Anastasia,  Joe Adonis,  and Bugsy Siegel, led by Lucky Luciano






    Salvatore Maranzano and "Lucky" Luciano conspire to kill Joe The Boss Massaria
    at an Italian Restaurant in Coney Island on and Maranzano takes over complete control of the
    New York Mob.

    Joe The Boss, his bodyguards, and Lucky Luciano all met at a seafood restaurant at 3 o'clock on April 15th 1931 The restaurant was one that Masseria visited on numerous occasions, and it was called the Nuova Villa Tammaro, on Coney Island.





    It is believed the Luciano was the gunmen who killed Masseria

    It is beleived that Gerardo Scarpato the owner of the restaurant Villa Tammaro was in on the hit.
