Ingredients for 4 people:
- 400 g of linguine or spaghetti
- 400 g of peeled or fresh peeled tomatoes
- a small octopus of 500 gr.
- a clove of garlic
- a glass of dry white wine
- 3 chillies
- extra virgin olive oil
- salt
Preparation:
Prepare the sauce by starting to fry the small octopus. To obtain an even tastier sauce, if you have a larger octopus, to weaken its consistency, you can keep it in the freezer for a few days before using it.
Finely chop 3 chillies, removing the seeds to reduce digestion problems. Also chop the garlic finely and add it to the pan together with the octopus. Deglaze everything with white wine to prevent the garlic from burning and to add a touch of flavour.
Add the peeled or fresh tomatoes cut into small pieces and add salt. Leave to simmer for at least 30 minutes, so that the flavors meld and the sauce thickens.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta al dente, tongues or spaghetti, following the instructions on the package. Drain and pour into a serving dish. Once ready, mix the pasta with the hot sauce, so that the flavors are absorbed.
To accompany this delicious octopus pasta dish, we recommend serving it with a good white wine with a fruity and floral bouquet, such as a Vermentino di Sardegna or a South Tyrolean Gewurztraminer. The freshness and complexity of these wines will pair perfectly with the intense flavors of the octopus sauce, thus completing a delicious and fulfilling meal.
Enjoy your meal!
