Fellow sinners and spice-seekers, Sammy Sizzle here, straight from the depths of the Underworld, ready to rake this blasphemously bland dish over the coals. Today, I’m diving fork-first into the abyss of “Brimestone-infused Asparaghost Linguine with Lemony Lava Zest” – a dish that claims to taste like Italian springtime but reminds me more of the lukewarm water of Lethe.
This dish comes from the charred chopping boards of Lucifood’s notoriously haughty pasta-slinger, Chef Evanesce Spook. Poor Evanesce believes pasta sauces should exalt the noodly craft, not outshine it. Spook, darling, in this fiery pit, we outshine everything, or we get devoured by the competition – literally, I might add.
Let’s talk ingredients. We’ve got linguine as the limp, lifeless bones of this dish, but since we obey no rules down here in Gehenna’s kitchen, feel free to sling whatever forsaken pasta shapes you’ve got rattling around your pantry. As for the asparaghost, we favor the thickest, most ghoulishly green spears that look like they could double as tridents for pint-sized demons. If you’re stuck with wimpy spears, just chop them into inch-long segments of despair.
Don’t get me started on the sauce. It’s brimming with extra-virgin Stygian oil, freshly grated Screaming Souls Parmesan, and citrus so sharp it could cut through the wails of the damned. To add a fiery kick, we throw in crushed hellfire flakes – none of that mortal red pepper flake nonsense.
Preparation is simple, if not disappointingly devoid of any real torment: Boil your pasta in the tears of the guilt-ridden until al dente. In a cauldron over the hellflames, sauté the asparaghost with a pitchfork until it’s just tender enough to remind you of your long-lost humanity. Then, bring in the zest of a lemon, plucked from the Hades’ own citric groves, and engulf it all with the soul-wrenching, zest-infused emulsion.
But here’s where the spellbinding happens – the vigorous tossing ritual, incanting incendiary curses to create an emulsion so creamy, it clings to pasta like a poltergeist to an ancient manor. For the final touch, a zesty lemon strip on top – like a flag of surrender to the overpowering citrus forces.
It’s time to serve up this nightmare in a bowl. But don’t forget to crown it with even more Parmesan, because let’s be honest, we’re all a bit cheesy down here.
Editor’s groan: If you’ve managed to keep your soul intact after this gastronomic ordeal, visit the Ninth Circle for more of our pitifully popular pasta dinners. But remember, too much indulgence, and you might end up with us. And trust me, you don’t want to see what happens in the Inferno’s kitchen during rush hour.

Oh, Sammy Sizzle, your culinary calamities never fail to tickle my infernal tastebuds! This brimstone-infused concoction sounds like a pasta from the flames of Hades itself. But hey, why stop at asparaghost? Let’s throw in some haunted habaneros or possessed pancetta for that extra kick! Bravo on summoning the spirits of flavor with your Lemony Lava Zest, a zest that could wake the dead – or at least make them cringe. Keep stirring the cauldron, Chef Evanesce Spook, maybe one day your dishes will haunt us in our dreams! Just make sure to give Cerberus a taste before you label it as “heavenly,” right? Cheers to culinary mischief and pasta pandemonium! 🌶🍝🔥
