💡 Chef’s Tips
Serve with garlic-rubbed toasted bread 🥖.
Add a drizzle of fresh lemon juice 🍋 or a sprinkle of lemon zest for brightness.
For extra depth, add a small knob of butter 🧈 at the end for a glossy finish.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Plate the pasta, arrange a few mussels in their shells on top for presentation, and garnish with more parsley 🌿. Pair with a chilled glass of dry white wine 🍷 for the perfect seaside dinner.
