Spaghetti with cream sauce and mussels

My hubby bought Tally's Green Shell Mussels  few days ago at Boulevard Hypermarket and I was bored with the same recipe that I always do with the mussels (maybe in future entry I'll post that recipe). I happen to have a packet of San Remo Spaghetti left in the kitchen, so I decided to make Spaghetti with cream sauce and mussels. Danish, my second child, who is not crazy about eating, had 3 bowls of the pasta! Talking about how yummy it tastes and the great thing about is it's nutritious for a growing child! It's simple and easy, and who says cooking is hard! Can also be serve to your partner / spouse for a romantic quickie lunch or dinner.
