This simple pasta dish uses canned mussels that are marinated in a smoked paprika and fennel tomato sauce, making the sauce for this pasta nearly finished! Add salt to some halved cherry tomatoes to let them juice out slightly and combine it with the canned mussels and sauce, and a bit of pasta cooking water to complete the dish. It’s as simple as that!
NEW: You can now switch to Cook Mode to keep your screen awake.
Directions
Season the tomatoes with salt in a large bowl; let sit 15 minutes. Stir in the mussels, parsley, scallions, lemon juice and olive oil.
While the tomatoes sit, cook the pasta in a pot of boiling, salted water according to the label. Drain, then toss with the tomato-mussels mixture, adding a splash of pasta cooking water to loosen, if needed. Serve with a lemon wedge.
