Pasta with mussels in creamy sauce
Description
For the creamy sauce, use cream with a fat content of 8 to 15%. You can adjust the spice mix to your taste, but for me, salt and pepper are enough. Mussels have a very pronounced flavor that transfers to the sauce. Good luck! I hope you enjoy my recipe.
