Grilled Baby Octopus with Pasta-bake

Mid-sem break came and went... and this is what I got up to =)

Grilled Baby Octopus
  1. Marinate with salt, pepper (wine?)
  2. Add to boiling water and simmer until tender (20mins?)
  3. Place on hot grill, turning every 3 minutes
Note to self: always simmer octopus until tender before grilling!! (I think I ate a semi raw tentacle before realising they weren't cooked thoroughly...)

Pasta Bake
  1. Cook 250g short pasta, drain.
  2. Steam broccoli, season with salt and crushed garlic
  3. Pour hot pasta into baking dish, pour in one jar (500g) of pasta bake sauce (Leggo's Creamy Tomato and Mozzarella Pasta Bake) and toss well
  4. Place cooked broccoli on top, sprinkle with shredded cheese
  5. Put into oven, 200'C, for 20 mins
