description
A first dish of sea of Apulian origin are Tubettini with mussels
preparation
step 1
To prepare the Tubettini with mussels you must first start with mussels removing any impurities on the shell and the outer filament that you will find on the side of the mussel.
step 2
Then put them in a pan with a lid and, at medium heat, let them open.
step 3
Do not throw the water from the mussels, take it from the pot and filter it in a colander, where you will also put a cloth with tight cotton mesh, which will serve to retain all impurities. Put aside.
step 4
In the meantime, remove the mussels from their shells.
step 5
In a large pan fry the garlic cloves in the olive oil; leave to brown the garlic and add 1 pack of chopped tomato pulp, 300-400 ml of water and a part of the water of the mussels. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, then add the mussels.
step 6
I advise you not to add salt and add the latter little by little, because, being the water of the mussels very salty, it could make the sauce too salty.
step 7
When the tomato is ready, add more water (about 300-400 ml), bring to a boil and pour the pasta. When the pasta is cooked, add the minced parsley, a sprinkling of pepper (or hot pepper) and serve.
