4 servings
Ingredients
1 kilo of clean soft octopuses
500 grams of spinach noodles
Ginger and chili marinade
1 tablespoon of sesame oil
1 table spoon of grated fresh ginger
2 table spoons of lemon juice
2 tablespoons of chili sauce (according to your preference)
Tomato sauce
2-3 teaspoons of vegetable oil
3 small onions, sliced

Preparation
-
Marinade: In a bowl pour the sesame oil, ginger, lemon juice and chili sauce. Mix. Add the octopus soaking it in the sauce. Cover and refrigerate for 3-4 hours.
-
Cook the pasta “al dente’ in plenty of water with salt. Drain, put on the side and keep hot.
-
Sauce: Heat the oil in a frying pan. Sauté the onions for 1 minute; add the tomato puree. Lower the heat and cook for 45 minutes.
-
Cook the octopus until soft. Add it to the sauce and mix. Serve over the hot pasta with its sauce.
Note
As a main dish all the octopus needs are vegetables sautéed in butter or a fresh leaf salad. Along with toasted French bread. If served as a first dish it will yield 6 servings. It also tastes delicious with squid.
