  • olive oil
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • smoked paprika
  • allspice

Preparation
You first boil your pasta.
When it's done pour it over a bowl, keep some of the water in a second bowl and in the same cooking pan pour some oil and chaute the onion and garlic.
Next, add the seafood and let them cook for a couple of minutes (always depending on the type of seafood you choose). I let the squid and octopus for a couple of minutes as they were cut in very small pieces.
Then, add the spices and mustard, the tomato sauce and a cup of the pasta water.
Be careful with the salt: If you boil your pasta in salted water, then go easy with the salt for the sauce. It's better to add salt at the end of your cooking while the sauce is still hot, rather than adding too much from the beginning. Have a taste first and then decide if your food needs more flavor.
When your sauce is done, add the pasta, give it all a good stir and serve while it's still hot.

PS: The feta cheese didn't match pretty well for my taste, @trumpman liked it though...
