Raymon Kim's Mussel Pasta

Cooking tips 💡

• The pasta cooking water should maintain a precise ratio of 100 parts water to 1 part salt to ensure proper seasoning throughout the pasta, preventing the sauce from clashing with the noodles.
• Overcooking mussels makes them tough and shrinks their flesh, causing juice loss. Cook them only until they become firm on the outside, then immediately transfer to the pasta and quickly complete the emulsification process to preserve a tender texture.
• Avoid using store-bought chicken stock to fully enjoy the pure, clear, and deep oceanic flavor inherent in fresh seasonal mussels.
