SPAGHETTI WITH MUSSELS AND TOMATOES
This simple pasta dish uses canned mussels that are marinated in a smoked paprika and fennel tomato sauce, making the sauce for this pasta nearly finished! Add salt to some halved cherry tomatoes to let them juice out slightly and combine it with the canned mussels and sauce, and a bit of pasta cooking water to complete the dish. It's as simple as that!

Steps:
- Season the tomatoes with salt in a large bowl; let sit 15 minutes. Stir in the mussels, parsley, scallions, lemon juice and olive oil.
- While the tomatoes sit, cook the pasta in a pot of boiling, salted water according to the label. Drain, then toss with the tomato-mussels mixture, adding a splash of pasta cooking water to loosen, if needed. Serve with a lemon wedge.

Steps:
- If you use the fresh mussels just bought from the fish monger - or the counter of the supermarket cool - let them clean it directly from them. When you are at home, I recommend you to check yourself again, something can escape and wash them again.
- Boil the water (not salted) for spaghetti.
- In a large pan put the peeled crushed clove of garlic and add three spoons of EVOO and brown the garlic.
- Remove the garlic and put the mussels together with some minced parsley, cover with a lid and let open them (it will take only a few minutes).
- As soon as they are open, turn off the flame.
- Remove the mussels from the shell and set them aside with a little of their water (you can keep them off with the shell to put it on the pasta). Filter the mussels baking liquid with a narrow mesh strainer to remove any impurities.
- Put the liquid back in the pan and turn on the flame only for a few minutes before draining the spaghetti directly into the liquid. This is the most important step: put the spaghetti in boiling water without salt, or just with a pinch, and cook for about 7/8 minutes.
- Take spaghetti from the water with a fork and transfer it to the pan with the mussel liquid where you will finish the cooking by adding, if necessary, cooking water to the spaghetti.
- When you miss 1 minute at the end of the cooking, join the mussels, the chopped parsley and a generous black ground pepper.

Steps:
- PREPARATION: Raw mussels MUST be alive when you cook them, so careful preparation is key. Wash them under cold running water until it runs clear, and scrub if necessary. Pull the 'beard' away from each individual mussel - this is the byssus thread, a protein the mussel 'spins' so it can attach itself to rock or rope. Drain and then check; if the shell is tightly shut, this is a good indication that it's alive. If the mussel is open, tap it sharply for a few seconds - if it is alive, it will close. Discard any that appear to be dead as they can decompose very rapidly, and eating one that you aren't sure of is not worth the risk. Don't check them too far in advance; cook within a few minutes to be on the safe side.
- Heat the butter in a pan large enough to easily fit the mussels, then fry the bacon for 4 mins, turning occasionally until it starts becoming crisp. Throw in the shallots and thyme leaves, then cook for 1 min until softened. Whack the heat up to maximum and add the mussels to the pan, then pour over the cider. Place the lid on the pan, give it a good shake, then cook the mussels for 5-7 mins, shaking the pan occasionally, until all the mussels have opened. Discard any that haven't.
- Use a slotted spoon to scoop the mussels into bowls and place the pan back on the heat. Bring the juices to the boil and stir in the crème fraîche, if using. Pour the sauce over the mussels. Serve with hunks of crusty bread for mopping up the sauce.
- COOKING TIPS: Mussels are most often steamed open over a small amount of flavoured liquid, as in Moules marinière, although they can also be oven roasted and are particularly good cooked 'en papillote' (in a bag). Wine, stock, beer and cider are all great for cooking mussels, but take care not to add salt to the liquid as mussel juice can be very salty. Drop the mussels into the liquid, cover with a tight-fitting lid, then cook until they have opened and the meat has settled into one side of the shell; this usually takes 3-4 minutes. Avoid overcooking as the meat shrivels and becomes tough. Check them all again before serving and discard any that haven't opened. If a mussel is unopened at this stage, this indicates that it was already dead. You will probably notice the colour of the meat varies between beige and orange. This is an indication of sex - beige for male and orange for female; there is no difference in flavour. Once cooked, mussels are usually lifted into a bowl and the cooking liquor is reduced by simmering. Pull the meat from one shell and then use that shell as a pincer to remove meat from the rest. Serve simply with crusty bread - lovely!
