Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/2 tsp salt for the tagliatelle.
Halve, peel and chop the shallot into small pieces. Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
Halve the baby plum tomatoes. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Grate the Cheddar cheese.
Place the garlic baguettes onto a lined medium baking tray. Sprinkle over the Cheddar cheese.
When the oven is hot, bake on the middle shelf of your oven until golden and piping hot, 12-15 mins.
Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in another large saucepan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shallot and cook until softened, 3-4 mins.
Add the garlic and fry for 30 secs.
Add the mussels and their liquid into the pan. Stir in the water for the sauce (see pantry for amount). Pop the lid on. Cook until piping hot, 5 mins.
Discard any mussels that do not open. IMPORTANT: Ensure the mussels are piping hot throughout.
When your pan of water is boiling, add the tagliatelle and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 3-4 mins.
Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.
When the mussels are cooked, stir in the creme fraiche, butter (see pantry for amount) and half the parsley. Simmer until piping hot, 1-2 mins.
When everything's nearly ready, in a large bowl, toss the tomatoes and baby leaves with the balsamic glaze until evenly coated.
Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the mussels from the sauce and transfer to a medium bowl. Cover to keep warm.
Stir the tagliatelle and grated hard Italian style cheese into the pan of sauce until well combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add splash of water if you feel it needs it.
Share the creamy tagliatelle between your bowls. Top with the mussels and remaining parsley.
Serve with the cheesy garlic bread and salad on the side.
Enjoy!
