A dish of Neapolitan or Apulian inspiration that reconciles with the world. And with the sea. Here the secrets for maximum success are twofold. First and foremost, of course, the Luciana Mosconi pasta, characterised by a unique and inimitable pastry. It is no coincidence that it is called 'rough, tough, Marche-style', as it is obtained from a selection of the best Italian 100% raw materials (wheat and fresh eggs) and made according to the exclusive protocols of the Luciana Mosconi Method. The other 'magic' ingredient is the Moscioli di Portonovo, a Slow Food Presidium, from the scenic Portonovo Bay, a paradise a few kilometres from Ancona, where the Conero gives its best in terms of scenic beauty and purity of the marine ecosystem. In fact, the mussels, which have been growing here undisturbed for centuries, are wild, fleshy, of a surprisingly elastic consistency and endowed with an intoxicating scent of rock and uncontaminated sea. Clearly we realise the difficulties of procuring such a treasure. Alternatively, the chef will turn a blind eye to the use of any farmed mussels, provided they are Italian and very fresh. The combination of seafood and legumes will create a superfine, mouth-watering creaminess that will help capture every drop of this superb sauce.
