Spaghetti With Mussels - {Spaghetti Con Mitili}

Recipe Ingredients

1 lb	454g / 16oz	Spaghetti
2 tablespoons	30ml	Extra-virgin olive oil
1/2		Onion - thinly sliced
		Into rings
3		Garlic cloves - thinly sliced
1 teaspoon	5ml	Dried red chile flakes
4		Anchovy fillets - washed, dried
2 tablespoons	30ml	Salted capers
1/4 cup	36g / 1.3oz	Finely-chopped Italian parsley
2 lbs	908g / 32oz	Black mussels - scrubbed, de-bearded
1 cup	237ml	Dry white wine

Recipe Instructions

In a large stockpot, bring 6 cups of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and stir so they don't stick.

In a large stockpot, heat the extra-virgin olive oil and lightly saute the red onion. When the onions are translucent, add the sliced garlic and chile flakes. Saute until fragrant. Add the anchovies, and using a wooden spoon, smash them into the oil.

Add the salted capers, parsley, mussels and white wine, and cover quickly, so the steam cooks the mussels. Shake the pot after 1 minute, and again after 2 more minutes. Check the mussels, if they are open and plump, they are cooked.

Drain the pasta in a colander and divide between 4 warmed pasta bowls. Divide the mussels between the 4 bowls of pasta, and pour the wine sauce over, leaving any sandy sediment in the pot.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
