Spaghetti with Mini Octopuses
Ingredients
- Spaghetti 10 oz
- Octopus 5 oz
- Garlic 3 cloves
- Dry White Wine 5 fl oz
- Marinated cherries 5 oz
- Parsley 1 bunch
- Olive Oil 2 tablespoons
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Octopuses can only be purchased frozen. They need to be thawed overnight on the top shelf of the refrigerator in a colander to remove excess water from freezing. For 2 servings, you will need 12 pieces.
Step 2
Finely chop the garlic and parsley.
Step 3
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half.
Step 4
It is important to prepare all the ingredients in advance, as the octopuses cannot be stewed for too long, otherwise they will become rubbery.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan and add the octopuses. Sauté on high heat for 2–3 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium, add the garlic, and sauté for another minute until fragrant, then pour in the wine and add the tomatoes.
Step 6
Simmer on low heat for about 2–3 minutes.
Step 7
Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions and before draining, reserve a ladle of the cooking water to dilute the sauce.
Step 8
Drain the water and mix the spaghetti, octopuses, and parsley. Stir well in the saucepan and add reserved cooking water if necessary.
Step 9
Serve in deep plates, as the sauce will be quite liquid.
