Ingredients

– 400g spaghetti
– 1 kg fresh mussels, cleaned and debearded
– 4 cloves garlic, minced

– Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

Creating Spaghetti with Mussels Alla Tarantina can be a delightful experience if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Spaghetti: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Sauce: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Add Tomatoes: Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes and stir well. Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes.
4. Incorporate Wine: Add the dry white wine to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, allowing the alcohol to evaporate for about 2-3 minutes.
5. Add Mussels: Carefully add the cleaned mussels to the skillet. Stir to combine and cover with a lid. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened up.
6. Season: Stir in the red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to taste. Discard any mussels that did not open.
7. Combine with Spaghetti: Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce and mussels.
8. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
9. Serve: Plate the spaghetti with mussels, ensuring each serving has plenty of mussels and sauce.
