Spaghetti with Octopus sauce: Today the recipe for a first course of Sicilian fish that is simple to make but decidedly rich and tasty. Unsure if it would make more justice to an octopus PASTA AL DOUBT’ WHITE WITH LEMON AND PISTACHIOS or a red sauce, I prepared both recipes. On the other hand, they are a great octopus lover and gods octopus and the RECIPES WITH THE OCTOPUS I am always among my favorites.

To try in a fish lunch perhaps together with the fabulous MOSCARDINI LUCIANA.
Octopus sauce: How to make a thick and full-bodied ragout
Tomato and red wine in which the Octopus (previously boiled) Bake slowly, they are loaded with taste and the sUgo becomes powerful and dense. Il octopus it is perhaps less present in its essence than the white version, but the flavor is full bodied, spicy and addictive. Il Octopus ragout, so fragrant and rich, It is in every respect a dish South, where traditionally slow cooking of meats and fish in tomato sauces. Among other things, with the octopus in Sicily also prepare a rare but amazing RICE WITH OCTOPUS, very easy and delicious.
Pecorino cheese in fish sauce: Yes or No?
What else to say? You just have to try both recipes and let me know, I'm really curious. You love each other, You can add the fried garlic and onion a bit of carrot and celery one. As for the possibility of adding pecorino cheese to the dish, in my opinion in the recipe of the pasta with octopus sauce il pecorino represents a Fabulous pairing, as it is with the mussels. Why does the sapidity of the dish. Seeing is believing. Is, if you like this kind of sauces, try it too PASTA WITH RED SAUCE AND BLACK OLIVE octopus, really fabulous.

Gracie Ada per la sua ricetta per polpi. Io preferisco quella con pommodori et vino rosso. Sta sera io lo facciero. Sono sicuro che sara benissimo. Mi piace molto la sua website. Auguri!!!
Thanks David, I also prefer the one with tomato and wine. Best wishes and I hope to see you again, Let me know. Ada
You can not use the octopus boil without prior?
hello Emma, I prefer to blanch, but I do not think that there are problems if you do not. You have to cook it in the sauce long enough to make it soft,, Therefore, maybe predict a sauce initially a bit’ most liquid having regard to the long cooking. Ada
In my opinion is blasphemy inaudible match the fish (any kind of fish) with cheese (both pecorino that other types).
The only exception may be made only if you cook fish fillets baked au gratin with cheese and bread crumbs garlic into small pieces and chopped parsley with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
In all other versions, the taste of cheese, especially pecorino,totally destroys the flavor of Octopus or other fish by reducing the sauce to a hybrid irriconoscile.
Ciao, whereas in the kitchen you should never talk about ' swearing’ Why is par excellence the Kingdom of fantasy and interpretation, and that dogmas, prescriptions, I don't do’ in my opinion are the precise negation of the concept of cooking and especially of modern kitchen, I'll note that there's a centuries-old regional tradition and consolidatissima using the cheese with fish, and especially pecorino: thinks only of her oven-baked potatoes and mussels pugliese, mussels and pecorino pasta, carbonara with sea. If we look at the Haute cuisine, stars or less, Italian and not, pairing cheese/fish or meat/fish is now widely known and appreciated, just eat in France but also in many starred restaurants Italians (Moreno Cedroni doc). That being said, the kitchen is nice because everyone can interpret it in his own way: as you may have seen by reading the recipe, explain very clearly that you can put it or not, according to your taste. Thank you for the comment, Ada
Way There, nothing personal of course,I plan as soon as possible to try the pasta with the sauce of Octopus and cheese as soon as possible and I guess ,without a shadow of a doubt, that I will love it.
Having said that though, According to your answer and creative cuisine that for a while now’ time you go praising, I wouldn't want in ragu’ You tried to put the quinoa,the cream,yogurt and those in forth, only with the excuse of creative cuisine! Is’ irrefutable proof that the oven-baked rice,potatoes and mussels alla pugliese (Despite having many variants depending on whether is from Bari or Taranto) It's a wonderful dish and gustabile, the same Spanish paella mix ingredients of dog,fish and vegetables yet is a masterpiece, but my underscore was significant only for the pasta with sauce of Octopus that in my imagination is wracked with tastes so pronounced as that of pecorino. Everything here, for God's sake, lots of your recipes, to me I find infinitely delicious and delightful read.
Be clear that I had no intention of denigrating your dish, I expressed my personal opinion based on the tastes of my land.
Always with great esteem, I greet you cordially.

Hello again Sable, first try the Octopus sauce but without cheese if it's not in your tastes, as I said the kitchen is freedom and is beautiful for this, because each can ' impute’ without doing harm to anyone. My underscore (maybe a little’ Severa, I realize) It's about generalisations and prohibitions: the ' no’ a priori, the ' ever’ prescriptive give me anxiety, It seems they want to harness the creativity in a narrow and sterile mesh. If you follow me you will have realized that I'm a big fan of the wonderful Italian culinary tradition, that is the necessary basis for then you can create different dishes. And you know that I think any combination or cooking technique (and I welcome the evolution in the kitchen, technical and technological level) should always be harmonious and functional to the plate, never exhibited, an end in itself or done to impress. Returning to our Octopus ragout, the obvious advice – If you check on the palate like make with pecorino – is not to use a pecorino romano, too salty and aggressive, but a Tuscan pecorino or even better a canestrato siciliano, and to put a small amount, so its salinity exalt the natural sweetness of the Octopus and the acidity of the tomato. Give it a try and then, clearly, respects your personal tastes: eating is a pleasure, No one should feel obliged to eat things that make him feel good about himself. See you soon, Ada
