A tasty first course that will drive your guests crazy: they are the Paccheri with mussels and breadcrumbs!
preparation
step 1
First of all clean the mussels:
step 2
Rub carefully with a clean scouring pad 500 gr of mussels. Alternatively you can also scrape them with a small knife. Before washing them, deprive it of the byssus (the group of filaments that comes out of the valves). Also for this operation, you can help yourself with a small knife.
step 3
Rinse it in cold water.
step 4
Heat a round of olive oil in a saucepan, add a clove of garlic and some sprig of parsley already peeled.
step 5
When the oil begins to sizzle, add the mussels and let them open in a covered saucepan and in a lively flame until they are all open.
step 6
When the mussels are open, separate them from the stock and filter the latter to remove any impurities and sand.
step 7
Heat a round of olive oil in another pan, then add the breadcrumbs.
step 8
Let the breadcrumbs toast until it has a golden color and becomes even more crispy.
step 9
Take a new pan and heat a little more oil. Add a chopped garlic clove and a finely chopped parsley tuft.
step 10
Wait until the oil starts to sizzle, then add the mussels already shelled together with their stock.
step 11
Bring to a boil a pan filled with water, when it boils, add salt and pasta.
step 12
When the pasta is al dente, drain it and add it to the pan with the mussels. Add a ladle of cooking water of the same pasta and bring the pasta to cook.
step 13
Serve the pasta in the dishes and sprinkle each portion with toasted breadcrumbs.
