  1. Put a large pan of water on to boil for the pasta. Fry the onion in the oil for 10 mins until softened and starting to colour. Pour in the wine, turn up the heat and let it bubble away until it reduces.
  2. Boil the pasta for 10 mins. Add crème fraîche to the onions, bring to the boil, tip in the mussels and cook for 5 mins until open (discard any that don't). Drain the pasta, return to the pan and tip in the mussel mixture. Toss with the herbs and serve.

    I made this dish this evening, I served it with spaghetti as I didn't have any tagliatelle and have to say it was yummie yummie!! I also added 2 cloves of garlic to the onions (we are garlic lovers here!) and the result was superb! I served up lots of crusty bread to mop up the juices and we just kept dipping into it and truly finished off a tasty crusty loaf and a delicious red wine. Enjoy!

    I changed this quite a lot to suit what I had in but the result was still delicious. I used spaghetti and frozen mixed seafood. I followed the rest of the recipe but also added a squeeze of lemon to the wine and some capers in with the seafood.
