Ingredients
- 400g/16oz Spaghetti

Method
Cook the pasta in a pan of salted water until al-dente. Meanwhile, steam the mussels open in a large lidded saucepan. Once the shells have opened, set aside, reserving the mussel cooking juices.

Drain the spaghetti and add it to the pan, along with the mussels. Stir until everything is combined, then stir in the parsley, season with salt pepper.
