octopus-ragu-with-paccheri

An elevated, coastal pasta that feels like summer and a perfect date night in. This is one of those dishes that feels a little special — the kind you make when you want to slow down and cook something really good. I made this for date night because Ada and I both love seafood, and it completely delivered. Tender octopus, a light tomato base, capers for that briny bite, and everything simmered together into this rich, glossy ragù. It’s elegant but still simple at its core — and paired with paccheri, it just makes sense.
