Ingredients (5–6 servings):

900 g (2 lbs) frozen mussels (thawed)

400 g (14 oz) pasta (spaghetti or any pasta you like)

A large bunch of parsley

500 ml (2 cups) heavy cream

Salt & black pepper to taste

Boil the Pasta

Place a pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil. Add salt to the water. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook until done.

Prepare the Parsley

While the pasta cooks, finely chop the fresh parsley.

Cook the Mussels

In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mussels and a little salt. After a couple of minutes, season with black pepper and add the chopped parsley. Mix everything well.

Add the Cream

Right after mixing, pour in the heavy cream. Turn off the heat immediately — the mussels and sauce will finish cooking under the lid. Cover the pan and let the flavors blend while the pasta finishes cooking.

Combine and Serve

Drain the cooked pasta in a colander. Portion the pasta onto plates. Spoon the creamy mussels on top. Your restaurant-style pasta is ready to enjoy!
