Easy Spaghetti Recipe

Easy Spaghetti Recipe is on the menu today, this is one of the recipes you don’t want to miss because it is delicious as usual. I used mussels for this recipe but you can use any seafood, proteins of your choice. Also, feel free to use any type of pasta of your choice.

When I’m making spaghetti/pasta I like to pull the spaghetti from the cooking water then add to the sauce instead of draining then add cooking pasta water (if I need more). But you can drain the pasta if that’s what you like/convenient ( I do both)for you but don’t forget to save some of the pasta water. Let’s get started!
