Ingredients (for 4 people)
•
Vermicelli 300 gr.
•
Mussels 1 kg
•
Extra virgin olive oil 50 gr.
•
Garlic 2 cloves
•
Parsley to taste
•
Untreated lemon 1
•
Salt to taste
Clean the mussels by washing them well, scraping them to remove the encrustations and with a clean movement remove the beard or byssus that comes out of the valves. Put them in a pot.
Cover with a lid and cook over high heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. When cooked, remove the mollusk from the valves, keeping some intact for the decoration of the serving dish.
Set aside a little cooking liquid by filtering it that you will need later for the pasta.
Brown the garlic, oil and lemon peels in a pan.
Remove the garlic and lemon peels after browning. Add the mussels.
Heat the vermicelli with very little salt and pour them into the pan. Add the parsley and the cooking liquid of the mussels, filtered from impurities (which is tasty with salt).
Stir for two minutes over high heat.
You can plate and enjoy this delicious first course with a taste of summer. Enjoy your meal!
