Rinse the cleaned octopus and cut it into bite-sized pieces, separating any thicker tentacle sections so they cook evenly.
Melt 15 g of the butter in a large, deep pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Add the minced garlic and sliced red chili. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until aromatic.
Add the octopus and cook for 4–5 minutes, turning the pieces occasionally, until they begin to firm and release their liquid.
Add the chopped tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook over low heat for 35–50 minutes, or until the octopus is tender. Stir occasionally and add a small splash of water if the sauce becomes too dry.
Add the sliced mushrooms and simmer uncovered for another 8–10 minutes, until tender and the tomato sauce has thickened.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Reserve about 250 ml of pasta cooking water, then drain the linguine.
Finely grate the zest from the lime, then squeeze out the juice. Stir the lime zest, half of the lime juice, and the remaining 20 g butter into the octopus sauce. Taste and add more lime juice as desired.
Add the drained linguine to the sauce and toss thoroughly over low heat for 1–2 minutes. Gradually add a little reserved pasta water as needed to create a glossy sauce that coats the pasta.
Remove the pan from the heat. Add 75 g of the grated halal-certified Parmesan and toss until incorporated.
Divide the linguine, octopus, mushrooms, and tomato sauce among serving plates. Finish with the remaining 25 g Parmesan and serve immediately.
