Ingredients
1 pack Kinkawooka Live pot ready Mussels
250gm fresh or dried rag pasta
A splash of dry white wine
50gm butter
100gm pesto sauce
1/2 bunch torn basil leaves
Method
-
Drain off the liquid in the bag and use the mussels straight away.
-
Cook pasta in a pot of boiling salted water until tender but still has some "bite", drain and set aside.
-
Cook mussels with a splash of white wine in a pot, lid on, high heat, for 4mins. Don't overcook mussels–they'll lose their soft texture.
-
Remove mussels, add pesto to liquid and stir, add butter and melt, add pasta.
-
Add mussels and torn basil, stir and pour into a hot bowl.
-
Don't throw away any that are unopened after cooking–prise open and eat!
