Step 1

Place the octopus in a large pot and heat, add a bit of water, the octopus itself will release water. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes. The octopus will shrink and curl.

Step 2

Remove octopus from pot. Save the octopus water. Cut into small pieces about ¾ of an inch. Set aside.

Step 3

In another pot sauté the onion until translucent, add the octopus pieces and continue sautéing for a few more minutes. Add the tomatoes, the tomato paste and about 1 1/2 cup water (it can be the octopus water depending on the strength of flavor you like or a mixture) and the wine. Cover and let it simmer for about 40 minutes.

Step 4

Add the pasta and let it cook for about 12 minutes until pasta is done.
