25 minutes

Italian pasta with shrimp and mussels is a refined dish that combines the sophistication of seafood with a rich creamy sauce. It originates from the coastal regions of Italy, where fresh shrimp and mussels have always been part of the culinary tradition. The thin strands of pasta perfectly absorb the thick sauce made from sour cream and cream, giving the dish a velvety texture. The aroma of dried oregano and basil envelops the delicate flavor of the seafood, highlighting their natural sweetness. Parmesan completes the composition by adding savory notes. This dish not only delights with its exquisite taste but also serves as a true decoration for any table, whether it's a romantic dinner or a festive reception.
