Sherry – Our Wild Savory Kitchen

Mussels Linguine with ‘Nduja Cream Sauce

The flavor combo of spicy pork with steamed mussels is a marriage made in umami heaven. ’Nduja is a spreadable pork sausage originally from southern Italy, and is a fantastic flavoring for just about any seafood pasta. You can easily find ‘Nduja online (like Amazon) or at an Italian market. It keeps for a long time in the refrigerator and very little is needed for each dish. When the family gathers for holidays and special events, we often harvest our own wild mussels along the Pacific coast, and the hunt becomes a joyful raucous adventure for everyone, including our little ones. When timed properly with low tides, it’s great fun… we just always keep one eye out for the occasional big wave.
