Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Process flour, salt, and egg yolks until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  • Knead the dough until smooth, wrap in film, and chill for one hour.
  • Fill pepper halves with tomatoes, garlic, oil, and basil, then roast for 20-30 minutes.
  • Boil potatoes for 15-20 minutes, then mash with butter, milk, and fontina cheese.
  • Boil ARTICHOKES in water for 15-20 minutes, then drain and roughly chop.
  • Clean mussels thoroughly and discard any damaged or unresponsive shells.
  • Roll dough through a pasta machine and cut into linguine, dusting with semolina.
  • Sauté red onion, garlic, chilli, and artichokes in oil before reducing with wine and adding tomatoes.
  • Steam mussels with onion, garlic, and wine until open, then remove most from shells.
  • Boil pasta for 2-3 minutes, drain, and toss with the onion mixture and parsley.
  • Plate the pasta with mussels, crab, mash, and peppers, finishing with black pepper.
