If I need to make dinner for a large group of people, I like to keep frozen mussels or prawns on hand. They are already prepared and shelled, making them a breeze to prepare; they only take a few minutes to cook, and I plan to add them at the very end of the recipe.

The fresh mussels called for in the frozen mussels recipe must be cooked before they can be used in the dish. e mussels are steamed in a covered pot with some water and wine until they open, and then the meat is removed from the shells and tossed with the pasta.

This recipe calls for 500 g (1 lb) of frozen mussels. 10 kg / 22.35 lb) of cooked and frozen mussels and 400 g (0.91 lb) of For four servings, you'll need 45 kilograms (about 90 lb.) of fresh tagliatelle pasta.

A fennel bulb, a sweet red pepper, a shallot, three cloves of garlic, and a sprig of parsley will do, as these are the vegetables I'll be using to fulfill the mandated addition.

For the sauce, I'll use 300 ml (10 fl oz) of double cream and 300 ml (10 fl oz) of semi-dry white wine. This will be poured over the fresh pasta and mussel meat as they boil.

The onions and garlic will need to be finely chopped because they will be the first ingredients to be fried. Since there isn't a lot of time to cook them, I prefer to make them as tiny as possible.

The fennel bulb follows; after peeling off the outermost layer, I divide it in half lengthwise and then again crosswise, and finally slice it as thinly as possible.

Prepare the sauce by heating 50 ml (3 Onion and minced garlic should be fried in olive oil (about 5 tablespoons) and unsalted butter (1 tablespoon) over medium heat.

As soon as the minute is up:

• Slice some fennel and add it to the dish.
• Add one teaspoon of salt, preferably sea salt.
• For about two minutes while stirring occasionally, simmer so that the fennel softens.

Now season the dish with half a teaspoon of dried chili and sauté the sliced sweet pepper over medium-low heat for about three minutes.

Adding the white wine to the pan and letting it simmer for a minute to remove the alcohol content is the first step in making a sauce in which this tagliatelle pasta will boil.

Once the wine has reached a boil, add the whipped cream, season with a pinch of salt, and let the mixture sit for a minute.

I throw in some tagliatelle pasta, which only takes about five minutes to cook because it's so fresh. Pasta made from dry ingredients needs to be boiled in salted water until "al dente," then drained and mixed with the sauce.

To enhance the flavor, I sprinkled in a half teaspoon of garlic powder and a teaspoon of dried oregano.

After two minutes, add the frozen mussels and the chopped parsley to the pasta and sauce, mix gently so that everything is combined, then cover and set aside for three more minutes. Keeping the lid on while cooking pasta ensures that none of the liquid will evaporate, that the pasta will absorb all of the liquid, and that the heat will be contained within the pot.

This concludes the preparation of the frozen mussels; they should rest, covered, for another five minutes before being served.

Hot, with a little chopped parsley on top and some lemon slices on the side, these frozen mussels made with tagliatelle pasta and mussels in a white wine and double cream sauce are incredibly tasty.
