    If you're looking for a cheap seafood first course that will give you a taste of summer, this dish is just the thing for you!

    Ingredients for 4 people
    • 320 g of Armando spaghetti
    • 1.6 cloves of garlic
    • Parsley to taste
    • 640 g of mussels
    • 320 g of peeled cherry tomatoes
    • 2.4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    • Hot water when needed
    Preparation

    Clean the mussels using a knife to remove any debris from the shells and the beard.
    Place the crushed garlic cloves, a few parsley stalks, and the extra virgin olive oil in a pan. Cook over low heat for two minutes.
    Now add the mussels and turn the heat to medium-high until the shells have completely opened. Check the liquid released by the mussels: if it isn't clear and clean, you'll need to strain it.

    Cook the pasta in the pan with the mussel liquid. Once it comes to a boil, add the peeled tomatoes.

    Once the pasta is cooked, add the mussels, chopped parsley, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Season with salt.

    Enjoy your meal!
