“Moscardini alla Busara” on Soft Polenta

A Venice lagoon classic revisited with the smoothness of spoonable polenta.

Prep time 60 min
Serves 4
Difficulty 3/5

Ingredients

  • 2 x 350 g packs of Castello Soft Spoonable Polenta
  • 800 g of cleaned baby octopus
  • 400 ml of cherry tomato passata
  • 1 bunch of fresh parsley
  • 1 garlic clove
  • ½ glass of white wine
  • Chilli powder
  • Extra virgin olive oil

Information

Method: Sauté garlic and chilli, add the baby octopus and deglaze with white wine if desired. Add tomato and simmer gently for at least 40 minutes. Heat the spoonable polenta in the microwave, divide into four bowls and top generously with the octopus and its sauce.

Chef’s Tip: Add a teaspoon of squid ink to the sauce for a striking “total black” effect over the yellow polenta.
