Home made pasta with mussels in a white wine sauce

I was cooking for me and some friends and who does not like mussels with pasta
and it great food to enjoy with wine and good bread I picked up some walnut bread
to go with it.

Ok i give you a simple pasta recipe:

pasta flour 250g

eggs 3

salt 1 tsp 

olive oil 1to2 tbsp

mix the flour with the salt then make a well

put the egg in the middle and mix till you get

a dough then put the olive oil on to your

hands and knead in to till its movable and

stretchy cover and rest fo 10 to 15 mins

then roll it a bit till you can use your pasta

machine

for the mussels:

1 bag of mussels

1 shallot or red onion

half a bottle of white wine

500ml double cream

1 bulb of garlic

10g butter

salt to taste

Dice your shallot and crush the garlic and then

melt the butter in a pan on a mediun heat add

to that your shallot and garlic and cook it out

till it's nice dark golded brown then add your

wine and reduce by one third then add your

cream to reduce by half whilst your cream

is reduced put some boilling water on to cook

your pasta. When your cream is reduce add

your mussels but don't for get to check and

clean, 1st. Put your pasta in the boilling water

at the same time give your pasta 5 mins to cook

then  strain and mix with the mussels for 2 to 3

mins and that is it. As you may see I got some

salmon on top of my one for that all I did was cut

some salmon in to half a cm and pan fried for

a min each side so it was still pink in the middle



With a nice sald on the side and a good wine you will

be happy to be eating this on a hot day.
