today we're making a one pan spaghetti dish
that´s easy to make
loaded with so much Spanish flavor
and it´s done in 40 minutes
guys stick around...you don´t want to miss this recipe
now I see a lot of one-pot pasta recipes out there
that call to put all the raw ingredients into a stock pot
fill it with water place a lid on top
turn on the heat and whala!
in 20 minutes dinner is served
as good and as easy as that sounds
ah they´re not cooking the veggies before hand
that gives a lot of flavor to a dish
I mean look at it this way your basically boiling
raw garlic and raw onions
that´s not my gig
you gotta cook those veggies before hand
it gives it so much flavor
so today I´m gonna show you guys how to make
one of the best one-pot spaghettis
you will ever taste
Saffron Spaghetti with Shrimp & Mussels
guys this is such an extraordinary dish
with so much flavor to it
and it´s super easy to make
ok let´s get started
the first thing we´re gonna do is
rinse some fresh mussels under cold water
I´ve got about 2 pounds of fresh mussels here
but I´m only gonna be using 10 for this recipe
you wanna remove the beard from each mussel
and then scrub them clean
next you wanna thinly slice 3 cloves of garlic
finely dice 1/2 of an onion
and season 12 jumbo shrimp that have been
peeled and deveined
with sea salt
and freshly cracked black pepper
ok now we can start cooking
I´m not gonna be using a stock pot to make this recipe
I´m gonna be using this large frying pan instead
guys make sure your pan is large enough
to add the spaghetti noodles on there
without cracking them
I mean you have to crack spaghetti noodles
what´s the point in using them
ok let´s heat this with a medium-high heat
and you wanna add 2 tablespoons of
extra virgin Spanish olive oil
two minutes after adding the oil
start adding the shrimps into the pan
seasoned side down
we´re gonna cook these for about 1 minute per side
after cooking the shrimps for 2 minutes
start taking them out of the pan and set them aside
then using the same pan with the same heat
add the slices of garlic and the diced onions
and mix them with the oil
you wanna make sure you scrape everything on the pan
that was left over from the shrimp
this is gonna give our dish so much flavor
and about 2 minutes after adding the garlic and onion
add 1 cup of diced tomatoes
season with sea salt
freshly cracked black pepper
a pinch of white sugar to cut the acid from the tomatoes
and 1/2 a teaspoon of dried parsley
and mix everything together
about 2 minutes after adding the diced tomatoes
add a 1/4 cup of white wine
and about 2 minutes after adding the wine
and all the alcohol has evaporated
go ahead and add 2 cups of water
season again with a little sea salt
and I´m gonna be adding one of these packets of
saffron in powder form
or you can use about a 1/4 teaspoon of saffron threads
and give it a gentle mix
ok once the water comes to a boil
it´s time to add the spaghetti
now here in Spain they sell it in this size right here
it´s 500 grams of spaghetti
I know in United States they sell it I believe by the box
that´s 16 ounces
I´m gonna be adding 1/2 of that
it´s gonna be 8 ounces of pasta
everywhere else 225 grams
so go ahead and add the pasta noodles
into the boiling water
and using a spatula just gently move them around
you know the longer this cooks
the softer the noodles are gonna get
which will make it easier to move them around
it´s been about 6 minutes since we added the noodles
into the pan
at this point return the shrimp back to the pan
along with the 10 fresh mussels
place a lid on top and lower it to a low-medium heat
and about 5 minutes after adding the lid
go ahead and remove it
wow look how beautiful this looks
all the mussels have opened up
as you can see there´s very little broth left
this dish is done
go ahead and turn off the heat
and transfer the pan to a flat surface
now I´m gonna cut a couple slices of lemon
add them to the pan
grab some fresh parsley and finely chop it
and add it over the spaghetti
ok guys I´m gonna get in there and give this a try
and look how beautiful this came out
ok here I go...Salud!
oh man! such an amazing flavor to this
the spaghetti noodles are perfectly cooked al dente
that´s what it is guys 8 ounces of pasta or 225 grams
to 2 1/4 cups of liquid to get that perfectly al dente
cooked in the time that I showed you guys
you know it´s starchy but you cant taste the starch at all
the flavors of the other ingredients have taken over
this is fantastic
I wanna try one of these mussels here
here we go...salud!
ah the mussels are so soft and sweet
this is such an extraordinary dish
very easy recipe using only 1 pan
you guys have to try this
