Today I prepared Sardinian Fregula with Mussels.
Sardinian Fregula is one of the typical dishes of Sardinia. The most famous is certainly Fregula with clams. Today I prepared it with mussels. Delicious.
There are many variations of Fregula with Mussels, with fresh tomatoes, with canned tomatoes, or white without sauce as I prepared it.
Some prefer it drier, and some prefer it more soupy, to be eaten with a spoon. I must be honest, I prefer fregula with mussels nice and soupy. A kind of soup.
The addition of chili is optional.
