Notes

Always clean your shellfish thoroughly. Scrub under cold water and remove any beards from mussels. For extra flavor, zest the lemon before juicing and sprinkle the zest over the finished dish. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days and reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water. Consider using gluten-free pasta or substituting squid with scallops if desired. Enjoy the beauty of this adaptable recipe!
