Steps

  • Mix flour and semolina on a clean surface or in a large bowl.
  • Make a well in the centre and add the eggs.
  • Mix gradually to form a soft dough and knead for five minutes until smooth.
  • Shape dough into a ball, wrap in cling film, and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Divide dough into four pieces and feed through a floured pasta machine at the thickest setting.
  • Repeatedly roll the pasta through decreasing thickness settings until thin and handleable.
  • Cut the pasta sheets into long strips and dust with semolina.
  • Heat olive oil in a large lidded pan and fry anchovy, capers, and garlic for 3 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes, oregano, chilli, and mussels, then cook covered for 6 minutes.
  • Remove mussels from shells, keeping some whole for garnish, and return meat to sauce.
  • Boil the pasta in salted water for 3 minutes or until al dente.
  • Drain pasta, reserving some water, then toss with the sauce and loosen if needed.
  • Serve in bowls topped with parsley and reserved mussels.
