Step by step recipe

1Cook the mussels 'Marinière', then shell them (yes, I know this is a lot of work...).

Set aside.
Spaghetti with mussels and basil : etape 25
2Pour the mussel cooking juices into a small pan (leave the very bottom, as this always contains some sand). Reduce by 3/4 over high heat.

Pour in 250 ml liquid cream, pepper generously, but don't add salt at this point, as the cooking juices are generally quite salty. Leave to thicken on low heat.

Check seasoning.

Remarks

Be careful when seasoning, as the mussel cooking liquid is generally fairly salty already, so you shouldn't need to add more salt. But add plenty of pepper, and do taste frequently.
