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
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!
