INSTRUCTIONS
PASTA
SAUCE
PASTA: In food processor chop garlic and dried pepper. Add flour, egg
whites, oil and mix. Add water until a ball of dough forms. If you have a
hand pasta machine just cut as usual.
SAUCE: In a large frying pan saute sliced garlic in peanut oil for approx.
3 min. Add wash spinach and saute for another 3 minutes. Set aside.
In another large pan, saute crushed garlic, basil, and parsley for 3-5
minutes with some 1/4 tsp sea salt. Add 1/2 tsp white pepper and reduce
heat. Add white wine and water and lay mussels directly in pan. Cover the
pan and stem the mussels over a medium temp. until the shells open (about
3-5 minutes). Remove mussels.
Mix the corn starch in the cool clam juice and add to broth in large pan.
Allow this to thicken by simmering for about 10 min. Add spinach, most of
the tomatoes and the mussels and heat for 1 min - just to warm tomatoes and
mussels. Do not over cook tomatoes.
Serve over spicy pasta with a touch of parsley and the remainder of fresh
tomatoes and of course some parmesan.
