Fresh pasta with mussels and porcini (mushroom)

I really love the mussels and this combination is really nice and light! The taste of fresh mushrooms combines beautifully with the milkiness of the cream. I let the mushrooms cook in the cream until it evaporates a little and reduces. I don't like the pasta to swim in cream, which should just make the tagliatelle moist and a little richer than oil would be.
