I absolutely love this recipe – not only because it uses mussels, one of my favourite ingredients, but because the entire thing, start to finish, is done in the thermo in under 30 minutes! No pots, pans or stovetop required. To my mind, mussels are the ultimate modern protein source – sustainable, ethical, locally produced, require no feed inputs as they filter food from the surrounding water, cheap, quick to cook and of course they are really tasty! I believe I could make a mussel convert out of anyone, and this recipe is no exception – creamy garlicky spaghetti, flavoursome mussels, chives and a kick of chilli if you want it!
