Title: Octopus Pasta
Categories: Seafood Pasta
Yield: 4 Servings

1smOctopus (about 3 1/4 pounds)
1/2cOlive oil
1 Pinch Rosemary
1 Bay leaf
1 Pinch Oregano
1tsCumin seeds
  Chopped parsley
1 Green chili pepper chopped
1/2lbTomatoes -- peeled and cut
3 Cloves garlic chopped
  Salt and pepper
1lbSpaghetti

The octopus must be very carefully washed and dried, and the mouth removed. Cover the bottom of a saucepan with oil; add the rosemary, bay leaf oregano, cumin seeds, parley, 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. NOTE: I used cleaned fresh squid from the fish counter...easier and cheaper!
