If you’re short on time, you can prepare this recipe even much faster. Cook the pasta and transfer them to the frying pan with olive oil. Add the octopus and cooked seafood, a couple of tablespoons of tomato sauce, aside from fresh parsley and garlic, and sauté for 2 minutes.
If you want to give your dish a twist, you can replace traditional pasta (macaroni, spaghetti, etc.) that you can buy at the supermarket with another type of pasta such as tagliatelle, tortiglioni or mafaldine. You can find them in specialty pasta shops.
