Creamy Saffron Mussel And Spinach Pasta Recipe

Recipe By Serious Eats

This pasta is based on a creamy saffron mussel soup i learned at cooking school in paris. It was salty from the briny liqueur the mussels leach out into the pot, luscious and sweet from the cream, and heady and intoxicating from the scent of the saffron. This is my version, done on the cheap, built to fill you up.
