Spaghetti with Mussels, Tomatoes and Oregano image

Crusty bread, an arugula and endive salad with balsamic dressing, and lemon sorbet with chocolate-dipped biscotti turn this simple Italian dinner into a special one.

Yield Makes 2 servings (can be doubled)

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces spaghetti
2 tablespoons olive oil
canned anchovy fillets, chopped, 1 tablespoon anchovy oil reserved
3 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 1/4 cups canned diced tomatoes in juice with Italian seasonings (undrained; from one 28-ounce can)
1 pound mussels, scrubbed, debearded

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in medium pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil and re-served anchovy oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add anchovies, garlic, oregano and tomato paste; stir 1 minute. Add tomatoes; bring to boil. Add mussels. Cover; simmer until mussels open, about 5 minutes (discard any that do not open).
  • Drain pasta; divide between 2 shallow bowls. Top with mussels and sauce.
