Pasta Frutti di Mare with French Sauce

Step 1

Prepare the mussels: scrape the mussels and wash them under running water. Pour them into a pan, add 1/2 cup white wine, cover them with a lid and leave them to open up over medium heat. Leave some mussels with their shells and clean all of the others. Filter the cooking liquid.

Step 2

Clean the leeks. Cut them in half, wash them under running water to remove all traces of soil: dry and cut them.

Step 3

In a pot, fry the leeks for a few minutes with oil and hot pepper. Deglaze with the remaining white wine, add the mussels and shrimp (defrosted), 1/2 cup filtered liquid, diced tomatoes (cut into cubes) and continue to cook over low heat for about 10 minutes. (adjust the salt, if necessary)

Step 4

Meanwhile boil the spaghetti in salted water. Add the cream to the mussels and shrimp, cook for a few minutes and turn off the heat. Strain the pasta into the pan, add the parsley and stir. Serve the spaghetti with seafood hot.
