Ingredients:

  • 1 pound fresh mussels
  • 8 ounces spaghetti
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup white wine
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Step 1: Preparing the Mussels

Start by cleaning the fresh mussels. Scrub the shells under running water to remove any dirt or debris. Remove any beards (the hairy threads) by pulling them towards the hinge of the shell. Discard any mussels that are open or do not close when lightly tapped.

Step 2: Cooking the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the cooked pasta and set it aside.

Step 3: Sauteing the Aromatics

Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and finely chopped onion, and sauté until they become fragrant and golden in color, about 2 minutes.

Step 4: Adding the Mussels

Add the cleaned mussels to the pan, along with the halved cherry tomatoes. Pour in the white wine, cover the pan, and let the mussels steam for about 5 minutes, or until they open. Discard any mussels that remain closed after cooking.

Step 5: Final Touches

Once the mussels have cooked, add the cooked spaghetti to the pan. Toss everything together gently to combine the flavors. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste. Give everything another toss to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.

Your pasta with mussels is now ready to be served. This delectable dish pairs perfectly with a glass of crisp white wine and a side salad. Bon appétit!
