SPAGHETTI AND MUSSELS IN TOMATO AND HERB SAUCE

Preparation Method :

• Peel onion and slice finely.
• Remove beards from mussels and wash away any grit. Set it aside.
• Heat oil in a large pan. Add onion and crushed garlic; stir over low heat until onion is tender.
• Add undrained, crushed tomatoes, wine, basil, parsley, salt and pepper.
• Bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until sauce begins to thicken.
• Add prepared mussels to pan. Cook, covered, for about 5 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally.
• Discard any mussels that do not open. While sauce is cooking, add the spaghetti to a large pan of rapidly boiling water and cook until just tender.
• Drain immediately. Serve mussels and sauce over pasta.
