Adriatic Spaghetti, Spaghetti Dell'adriatico

Method :
* The octopus must be very carefully washed and dried, and the mouth removed. Cover the bottom of a saucepan with oil; add the rosemary, bay leaf oregano, cumin seeds, parley, chili pepper, tomatoes and chopped garlic.

* Place the octopus on top of this mixture and season with salt and pepper.

* Cover the pot very tightly and simmer for about 45 minutes. Cook the spaghetti in plenty of boiling salted water until it is 'al dente' (firm to the bite).

* Drain and turn onto a warm serving dish. Mix the octopus sauce into the spaghetti. Serve piping hot.
