Garlic3 cloves, about 9 g
Chilli flakesA pinch
Olive oil2 tsp (8 g)
Fresh parsleyA handful, chopped
SaltFor the water

Method

Put the spaghetti on in well-salted water and cook it a minute short of the packet time.
Warm the oil with the garlic and chilli flakes over a low heat for two minutes, then add the wine and let it bubble down by half. Add the passata and simmer for eight minutes.
Add the mussels for the last two minutes, just to heat them through in the sauce.
Toss the drained spaghetti in the pan with a splash of pasta water for a minute, then the parsley.

Worth knowing

Mussels from a pouch or a tub, already cooked and shelled, are made for this and take two minutes. Cooking fresh ones open in the sauce first works too and gives you their liquor as a bonus.
At 85 g dry the pasta is 297 of the 617. Drop to 70 g and the dish is under 570 with the same amount of mussel.
