Ingredients to make pasta with mussel sauce:
1. To make this recipe you can use the type of pasta you like. Thus, you can make spaghetti with mussels, noodles and even homemade stuffed pasta, following the dough recipe for stuffed pasta. I have opted for homemade noodles.
2. Once the pasta has been selected, the first thing to do is cook the steamed mussels. To do this, we put a pot on the fire with a little water, add the mussels and cover. When they are ready, we remove them, remove the shells and reserve them. And if you want to give an extra touch to the sauce, do not miss the recipe for steamed mussels with white and garlic wine. Once ready, remove the shells the same and reserve them.
Trick: Save the Mejillones broth, you will use it in the following steps!
3. We finely chop parsley and garlic to continue with the elaboration of the pasta recipe with mussel sauce. Likewise, we wash the pepper and cut into paintings of the size we like. Then, we saute these ingredients in hot olive oil, over medium heat.
4. When we observe that the pepper is ready, we resume the broth of the mussels, we strain it and pour it to the previous preparation to make a sauce full of flavor. We rose the temperature of the fire and let it boil for approximately 3 minutes.
5. Past time, add the crushed tomato, salt and pepper to taste, and let it continue to cook for 5 more minutes without lowering the temperature. Then, to continue with the elaboration of the mussel sauce for pasta, add the mussels without peel and let cook over low heat for 1 minute so that the flavors of the recipe are incorporated.
6. Apart, we cook the selected pasta until it is at the dente. How? Very easy, add a pinch of salt to the water, add the pasta when it starts boiling, lower the fire and let it cook until it is ready. We remove it and strain it.
7. Now, we have two options: mix the pasta with the sauce or serve it and add the sauce above. For example, I like the second option more, since thus the flavors of both the pasta are perceived much better, especially if it is homemade, and of the sauce. And if you want, you can accompany your paste dish in mussel sauce with a little boiled white rice or with baked potatoes in segments. Bon Appetite!
