  • fresh pasta as desired, e.g. linguine or a similar band pasta

Instructions

  1. 1

    Chop half of the mussels coarsely

  2. 2

    In a large pan (there should be space enough also for the pasta), mix the whipping cream and the bouillon; heat until a slow boil, add the chopped mussels and let the mixture simmer for a few minutes.

  3. 3

    Remove the sauce from the heat, add the egg yolk while stirring.

  4. 4

    Continue the heating at a very low heat (the sauce must never boil!) until the whole mussels have absorbed enough saffron taste.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, cook the fresh pasta. The cooking time will depend on the type of pasta you have chosen.

  6. 6

    Drain the pasta, then add it to the mussel sauce, stir, add the remaining unchopped mussels, and continue stirring at very low heat for a minute or two. Serve immediately.
