- 1 kg Mussels
- 250 g Cherry Tomatoes we try to buy heritage tomatoes when we can
- 250 g Ditaloni Pasta if you can't get it macaroni will be ok
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 pinch Chilli Flakes
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil old slag is best, save extra virgin for salads!

Instructions
- Wash the mussels and discard any that are broken or are open and don't start to close when they are tapped on a hard surface
- Boil some water in a large pan and, when boiling, add the pasta and cook according to the packet timings (usually about 12 minutes)
- Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over a medium heat. Cut the tomatoes in half and add them to the warmed oil. Cook gently to soften them.
- When the tomatoes are softening, grate the garlic over the tomatoes and then add the pinch of chilli flakes. Stir well.
