Three nites in a row

Allowed me to get over with my food affiliation with mussels once and for all[temporary by the way] . I guessed some of you might start to wonder if my cooking repertoire is limited to only of mussels of this and mussels of that. Three nites in a row and still not fed up? Honest confession: a little bit actually....... :-)

So I made something light and simple. Pasta fettucine, mussels in wine sauce.




Pasta Fettucine, mussels in wine sauce.(good for 2 persons)

• drizzle of dry chilli flakes
• 1/2 red pepperbell, coarsely chopped.
  
• a pinch of sea salt
  
• 1/2 glass white wine

1. Cooked fresh fettucine in a pot. Cook till al-dante. Drained.
2. In a pan, heat olive oil, put in the garlic and lightly browned it. Then put in the mussels and lightly stir fry, throw in the pepperbell and continue to fry.
   
3. Pour in the white wine, mussel stocks and let it simmer for 3 minutes.
4. Add in the pasta and let it coat with the sauce.
