Spaghetti with mussels

This is another option of spaghetti with seafood. Of course, you can take not only mussels but also a sea cocktail, for example. The main ‘zest’ lays in a sauce and cooking principle. Privately, I prefer shrimps with cream sauce but tomato sauce perfectly suits to mussels.

Step 1

Unfreeze mussels. Wash them out well.

Step 2

Cut onion into quarter-rings.

Step 3

Finely chop the garlic.

Step 4

Fry the onion for a couple of minutes on the frying pan pre-heated with olive oil on medium heat, then add garlic to it.

Add mussels in a minute. Heat over all together and add 2/3 glass of hot water from a tea pot.

Step 6

When it all starts boiling, add grated tomatoes. Heat over all together.

Step 7

Then add oregano and mix up. Leave to stew on medium heat for 10 minutes. Just enough time to cook pasta.
