| 1. Rinse the octopus under cold, running water and place in pot dripping wet (you don't want to dry it off - this is the moisture it will cook in). | 2. Add the red wine, garlic, onion, bay leaf and cinnamon and cover the pot. | 3. Bring to the boil over low heat. | 4. It is tender when pierced easily with a fork (this can vary from octopus to octopus, so time is not a good indicator of doneness in this case). | 5. Remove the octopus and let cool until cool enough to handle and cut into bite-size pieces. | 6. Meanwhile, in pot you have cooked the octopus in, add tomatoes and olive oil. Boil for 8-10 minutes to bind the sauce. | 7. Stir in the cut octopus and nearly-cooked macaroni and simmer for the remaining 3-4 minutes required to cook your macaroni (if mixture appears too dry, add some of the pasta cooking water - you want this quite 'moist' but not soupy). | 8. Stir in butter. Remove bay leaf and cinnamon stick. | 9. Note: I use digitali pasta for this, but I can't get it into the ingredient list with the new Zaar format. | 10. Bon Appetit. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
