Serves 2, prep time 10 minutes, cooking time 15 minutes
INGREDIENTS
250g spaghetti
1 tbsp olive oil
5 small shallots, finely chopped
2 packs of mussels in a white wine sauce
Salt & pepper
150g creamy blue cheese
10-12 cherry tomatoes, halved
TO SERVE
Coriander sprigs
1 red chilli, finely chopped
METHOD
Cook the spaghetti as per pack instructions.
When cooked, drain and set aside.
Heat the oil in a deep pan, add shallots and cook until softened.
Snip the corner of the mussels pack and pour in the white wine sauce.
Season and bring to a simmer, then turn down to a medium heat
Next, crumble in the cheese and stir until it’s melted.
Add the mussels, stir and cover the pan, simmer for 3-4 minutes.
Now, add the cooked pasta and stir into the sauce.
Add the tomatoes and cover the pan.
Turn off the heat – the residual heat will soften the tomatoes.
Now serve in deep bowls, topped with coriander and chillies.
Serve with some fresh bread to soak up the sauce, and enjoy.
