1/2 cup olive oil
Pinch Rosemary
Pinch Oregano
1 bay leaf 1 Bay leaf
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
chopped parsley
1 green chili pepper chopped
1/2 lb. tomatoes, peeled and cut
3 cloves garlic, chopped

Recipe



Carefully wash and dry octopus. Remove mouth.

Cover the bottom of a saucepan with oil, then add the rosemary, bay leaf oregano, cumin seeds, parsley, chili pepper, tomatoes and chopped garlic.

Place the octopus on top of this mixture and season with salt and pepper. Cover the pot very tightly and simmer for about 45 minutes.

Cook the spaghetti in plenty of boiling salted water until it is "al dente" (firm to the bite).

Drain and turn onto a warm serving dish. Mix the octopus sauce into the spaghetti.

Serve piping hot. Serves 4

NOTE: Using cleaned, fresh squid from the fish counter is easier and cheaper!
