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

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.
