Using a frying pan: Place the octopus in a terracotta dish and as soon as it begins to simmer add the peeled tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Cover and finish cooking on low heat. Once cooked, remove the lid and allow the sauce to reduce until it become dense.
If you would like to toss spaghetti in the sauce then remove the octopus and keep warm. Add the cooked “al dente” and drained spaghetti to the sauce. Cook on a vigorous flame for one minute, stirring often so that the pasta absorbs the sauce. Add parsley and serve.
