Octopus and celery salad is a popular combination for starters in Italian cuisine. I modified it into a pasta dish.

The shape of spaccatelle is as if short pasta has been cut in half lengthwise. Also, it has unique springy texture, so it goes well with the sauce too. I actually really enjoyed making the dish with pasta spaccatelle.
I cooked the pasta with authentic ingredients this time, but I will add capers or anchovies etc. next time. Recipe by Koube Iitariaya
