Chop half of the mussels coarsely. and In a large pan (there should be space enough the basic also for the pasta), mix the whipping cream and the bouillon; heat until a slow boil, add mussel the chopped mussels and let the mixture simmer for a few minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat, add the egg yolk while stirring. Continue the heating at a very low heat (the pasta sauce must never boil!) until the whole mussels have absorbed enough saffron taste. Meanwhile, cook the fresh pasta. The cooking time will depend on the type of pasta you have chosen. Drain the pasta, then add it to the mussel sauce, stir, add the remaining unchopped mussels, and continue stirring at very low heat for a minute or two. Serve immediately. The selection of pasta is important. Do not use a dry type pasta; the flavor of the mussel sauce is too delicate. Also, stay away from very thin fresh pasta since that requires a creamy sauce without any solid particles.
