INGREDIENTS

350 g pasta (ideally cavatelli)
100 g dried white beans
16 fresh edible mussels
8 cherry tomatoes
Sprig of parsley
2 cloves garlic
1 bay leaf
Extra virgin olive oil
Pepper
Salt

INSTRUCTIONS

1
Soak the beans in water half a day in advance and let them swell. Then boil them with a bay leaf for 45 minutes and then sauté them in a pan with olive oil, fresh parsley, and garlic.
2
Cook the pasta in lightly salted water al dente, or rather, remove it a little earlier, as it will finish cooking in the pan with the base.
3
Open the mussels with a knife and scoop the meat into a bowl along with any remaining seawater. Pour the contents from the bowl into a hot pan with olive oil, a crushed garlic clove, and add finely chopped parsley.
4
Sauté, add quartered tomatoes and drained beans. Cook everything together for 2 to 3 minutes, season with pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Serve in deep plates.
