If you love octopus, this dish will satisfy your cravings. Just be sure to allow enough time for the octopus to become fully tender. (You can also use squid, which will cook much more quickly.)

This dish employs the unusual but excellent technique of completing the cooking of the pasta in it’s sauce, something done throughout Italy.
