Quick Mussels over Angel Hair Pasta

Quick Mussels Over Angel Hair Pasta
Garlic Butter Sauce, Fresh Herbs

Here I share another QUICK recipe. Last month it was a delicious Wonton Noodle Soup. This month it’s fabulous Mussels over Angel Hair Pasta.

Organic cultivated mussels from the pristine waters of Prince Edward Island, Canada are vacuum packed and fully cooked and pasteurized with a generous amount of garlic butter sauce added to each bag. The ingredients in the vacuum sealed bag are simply mussels, clarified butter, minced garlic, and parsley flakes. That’s it.

These sustainable tasty mussels are found in the refrigerated section at Costco. They offer a fresh, sweet, briny flavor reminiscent of the sea, with a tender, slightly chewy texture and a mild, delicate taste that isn’t too “fishy.”

Microwave mussels for 3 minutes, cook pasta for 2 minutes! Now that’s quick!

Quick Wonton Noodle Soup

This Quick (delicious) Wonton Noodle Soup is made with frozen/defrosted broth, frozen wontons (2 minutes) and noodles (4 minutes). Quick cooking baby bok choy adds the green vegetable component, along with plenty fresh scallion and cilantro. Garlic, ginger, soy sauce and fish sauce add depth of flavor. Sesame oil adds a toasty richness while jalapeño and chili garlic sauce definitely give it a kick!

When I make broth from scratch, I always make a big pot, and freeze some of the broth for later use. This flavorful broth was from a Vietnamese chicken soup recipe similar to pho ga. But any tasty broth would work. Here, the chicken soup with cilantro garnish is well-paired with bright herby chicken/cilantro wontons from Costco.
