Don't be afraid to put octopus in the slow cooker! Expand your palate and enjoy this tender, light meat that tastes similar to chicken. This red wine sauce is very rich, briny and deeply flavored, so much so that you only need to serve half of it with the octopus.
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chopped carrots (from 2 carrots)
1 cup chopped celery (from 3 celery stalks)
½ cup chopped shallots (from 3 to 4 shallots)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (from 3 garlic cloves)
1 (26.46 ounce) package chopped tomatoes (such as Pomì)
1 cup dry red wine
2 tablespoons no-salt-added tomato paste
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
4 fresh thyme sprigs
1 bay leaf
2 pounds cleaned octopus (tubes and tentacles), rinsed
12 ounces uncooked whole-grain linguine
1 teaspoon black pepper
½ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
