Mussels without Muscules

This is a photo of a dish I made when I was in the mood for both Italian and Seafood and decided to combine the two. I normally always take a photo of the food I make so I thought this would be good to use for the homework about texture in a dish. You can see the hard shell that the mussels have similar to the bowl that their in just not as thick. The mussels also have some lines that run along the shell in a pattern but they do not affect the smoothness of the shell. The inside part is soft with a rubbery like consistency. The spaghetti texture is also seen here as a bit smooth all around yet intertwined with each other. It is cooked pasta al dente, so it still has a bit of a bite to it not like over boiled pasta that ends up more on the mushy side. The dish overall is simple yet the plate looks like a lot is going on.
