Pasta with mussels in creamy sauce

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make pasta with mussels in creamy sauce? Prepare your food. Take any long or medium pasta (spaghetti, fettuccine, linguine, orecchiette, farfalle, etc.). Cream with 10-20% fat content is suitable. Mussels can be used either peeled or in their shells.

2. STEP 2

   

   If the mussels are frozen, first defrost them by transferring them from the freezer to the refrigerator overnight.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the garlic and chop coarsely. I usually cut the garlic into petals as they will be easier to remove from the pan.

4. STEP 4

   

   Heat a mixture of vegetable and butter in a frying pan. In this combination, butter will not burn, since vegetable oil has a much higher combustion temperature. Make the fire not very strong.

5. STEP 5

   

   Fry the garlic until golden brown.

6. STEP 6

   

   And then take it out. Garlic is only needed to flavor the oil. Place the mussels in the pan. Fry them over medium heat for about 3 minutes. Seafood from long frying becomes rubbery and tasteless.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour the cream into the pan and bring it to a boil.

8. STEP 8

   

   Boil spaghetti in salted water until al dente according to package instructions. Place the finished pasta in a colander and let the water drain. Spaghetti sauce cooks quickly, so it’s best to start cooking the pasta at the same time as the sauce.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place the spaghetti in the pan with the mussels and stir. Warm them up for just 1 minute and remove the pan from the heat.

10. STEP 10

    

    Immediately divide the pasta with mussels into plates and serve. Bon appetit!
