The term trenette, used only in Liguria (in the rest of Italy this type of pasta is known as bavette or linguine), comes from the Arab word itrja. It provides confirmation of the theory that pasta-making came to Liguria from Sicily by sea, during coastal trading in medieval times.
RECIPE INGREDIENTS
1 garlic clove, minced
1 sprig flat-leafed parsley, finely chopped
2 mint leaves, finely chopped
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup cooked, shelled mussels
13 oz trenette
4 pinches of saffron threads

DIRECTIONS
In a large skillet sauté the garlic, parsley and mint in the olive oil until golden.

Add the mussels and cook for 2 or 3 minutes over medium heat. Set aside once the flavors are well mixed.

Meanwhile, cook the trenette in plenty of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain the trenette; turn them into the skillet and stir carefully so that the pasta is coated with the mussel sauce.

Serve, topping each serving with a pinch of saffron threads.
