Zutaten
- 320gr fregola sarda
- 1kg mussels
- 1 onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 400gr tomato sauce
- Fresh parsley
- Chili pepper
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
Carefully clean the mussels under cold running water.
In a pan warm a little extra virgin olive oil. Add the minced onion, the garlic and the chili pepper and let it sauté until golden brown.
Add the tomato sauce and cook over medium-high heat for a few minutes.
Add the mussels, cover with a lid, and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Occasionally shake gently the pan to make sure the mussels open evenly.
When the mussels are completely open, put them aside.
Cook the fregola in the mussels’ sauté for about 12-14 minutes. Add a ladle of hot water when necessary.
Once the fregola is cooked, add the mussels, half of the minced parsley and mix gently.
Remove the pot from the heat and let the sauce thicken for a few minutes.
Serve your fregola, with some fresh parsley.
