One-pot Mutti tomato mussels: Method
- Heat oil in a large, deep frying pan with a lid over medium-high heat, add onion and garlic, and cook for 4-5 minutes or until softened. Add wine and mussels, cooked covered for 3-5 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally until mussels open, transferring them to a bowl as they do.
- Add Mutti Polpa with Basil, stock cube, risoni and 2 cups of water to pan. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring constantly at first to prevent sticking then occasionally for 13-15 minutes for al dente.
- Meanwhile, cut the lemon into wedges. When cooked, add the parsley, lemon zest and return mussels to pan. Season with pepper, toss to combine, drizzle with extra oil and serve with the torn baguette.
