Directions
Htapodi Me Makaronaki Kofto Stewed Octopus With Macaroni, This is really quite delicious. If you’ve never tried octopus, I urge you to. It is meaty and rich-tasting, and the macaroni tastes wonderful cooked in the rich juices it produces., I made this tonight and my husband and I both loved it. It was easy to make and, except for the octopus, uses ingredients I always have on hand. I especially love the hint of cinnamon in it. We will definitely have this again!
