Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
Letʼs prepare the products according to the list. My pasta is “butterflies” made from durum wheat. The amount of garlic is at your discretion.

Step 2

Step 2
First of all, boil the pasta. Prepare according to the instructions on the package. I boil it until tender, not al dente, because then I just heat it in the sauce.

Step 3

Step 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or saucepan, cut the onion into small cubes, and fry until soft.

Step 4

Step 4
Garlic. Many people simply heat garlic in oil and then throw it away, resulting in garlic-flavored oil. I suggest passing the garlic cloves through a press, adding them to the onions and frying. It will be very aromatic and tasty — cream with garlic gives an amazing taste!

Step 5

Step 5
When the vegetables are fried until soft, add the cream. Fat content is at your discretion. If the cream is 10-12% fat, heat it for literally half a minute so that it does not curdle. If the fat content is above 20%, heat for 2-3 minutes over low heat, stirring.

Step 6

Step 6
Then pour in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce — it will add flavor to our sauce and highlight the taste of the mussels. If you donʼt like soy sauce, you can omit it. Heat with sauce for another 1 minute.

Step 7

Step 7
If you have fresh frozen mussels, you do not need to defrost them; add them directly to the sauce, stir and cook for 7 minutes.

Step 8

Step 8
Then add the cooked pasta to our sauce with mussels, mix and heat for literally 1-2 minutes so that the pasta is well soaked in the sauce.

Step 9

Step 9
The dish is ready!

Step 10

Step 10
For the taste and structure of the dish, I suggest sprinkling grated cheese on top of the pasta.

Step 11

Step 11
Pasta with mussels is ready! Serve hot with fresh vegetables. A delicious and nutritious lunch is ready in a short time.
