Mussels And Macaroni Recipes

MUSSELS AND PASTA WITH CREAMY WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
• Place mussel meat in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse thoroughly with cold water.
• Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Gently warm the mussels until they release their water, about 3 minutes. Remove to a bowl and set aside.
• Wipe out the skillet with paper towels. Melt remaining 3 teaspoons butter in the skillet. Cut any large mushrooms into smaller pieces. Add to the skillet and sprinkle with pepper. Cook until starting to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Pour wine into the skillet, add red pepper flakes, and cook until wine has reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in cream and add mussels. Heat until warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Use tongs to lift linguine out of the pot and add to the skillet with some of the cooking water. Toss to coat with sauce. Plate and garnish with lemon zest.

• boil mussels in the water with the parsley and garlic.
• Take out fish and sieve the water, but keep water and use to boil the macaroni.

MUSSELS WITH ANGEL HAIR PASTA

Steps:

• Put olive oil into a hot pan. Add mussels and garlic. Saute all together until garlic is roasted. Add green onions and season with salt and pepper. Add tomato juice, wine and basil. Cover and let cook until all the mussels have opened, about 5 minutes.
• In a separate pan cook the pasta in boiling water until al dente, then remove and strain out all the water. Add the pasta to the mussels and mix a couple times by flipping and stirring. Transfer to a bowl and serve.
