Mussels in white wine broth wih Spaghetti Pomodoro

Ok now, these are great mussels. Simmered in a white wine sauce, the sweetness of the broth will make you want to eat it like a soup. This is a great and easy meal prepared in 5 minutes. Did I mention cheap too? It can cost just a few bucks. So, if you want to impress someone with your culinary skills whilst not spending an arm and a leg, mussels in a white wine broth is the way to go.

Along with the mussels, I prepared a Spaghetti dish in a red sauce with grilled asparagus. This is a great compliment due to the differences in taste with the mussels. The sweet and buttery taste that combines in your mouth will leave you wanting more.

Enjoy this great mediterranean dish at any time of the year!
