Ingredients
Linguine (I used fresh pasta) - refer to pasta box instructions
Canned octopus - 1 can
Olive oil - 2/3 cup, be generous
Garlic Cloves - 4 to 6 cloves
Salt and pepper - adjust for tasting
Parsley leaves - to your liking
Optional: red chili flakes
Instructions
Step 1
Prep: boil a pot of water with salt.
Step 2
Slice garlic cloves and chop parsley leaves (or pull them apart). If you're not a big parsley fan, skip it!
Step 3
Heat pan over medium heat. Add olive oil.
Step 4
Once warm, add garlic cloves.
Step 5
When fragrant, add canned octopus. Cook over low heat so that the garlic does not burn.
Step 6
Once the pot of water is boiling, add pasta.
I used fresh pasta, so this took about 2 minutes to cook. Cook your pasta according to your box.
Step 7
Add pasta to the pan. Add ½ cup of pasta water to the pan. Add olive oil if necessary.
Step 8
Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Then, add parsley leaves.
Step 9
Mix well and plate.
