How to make macaroni with mussels step by step
- Cleaning the mussels: We begin by cleaning the mussels well, removing impurities from the shells and removing the beards. Then, we put them in a container with water and salt to release the sand.
- Prepare the prawns: Peel the prawns. We can use other types of seafood but today I decided to prepare the recipe for macaroni with mussels with some shrimp.
- Cook the macaroni: Meanwhile, bring the macaroni to a boil in a large pot with water and salt, following the package instructions so that they are al dente. We drain them and reserve.
- Preparation of the garlic: While the macaroni is on the heat, chop the garlic cloves very finely.
- Cook the mussels: In a large skillet with a lid, heat a drizzle of olive oil and add the minced garlic along with the chilli. When the garlic begins to brown, add the mussels and white wine. Cover and let the mussels open with the steam.
- Mix ingredients: Once all the mussels are open, add the macaroni to the pan and mix well. If necessary, add a little pasta cooking water to make the mixture juicier.
- Final presentation: Finally, we add salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley. We serve hot.
Final considerations for the macaroni with mussels recipe
Remember that mussels do not open during cooking should be discarded , since they may be in poor condition.
If you want a more intense flavor, you can add a can of crushed tomato along with the mussels and let everything cook together.
The touch of parsley at the end not only adds flavor, but also a nice green color to your plate .

I started cosmorecipes in 2020 during the time we were cooped up at home. Having so much free time I spent a lot of time in the kitchen trying different dishes. So I decided to mix cooking with my other great passion: web programming. That's why I decided to open this blog where I post the different recipes that I'm cooking.
