Meh. The mussels were overcooked and the sauce was bland. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

Not bad! The mussels were a bit chewy, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try cooking them for a shorter time next time.

So good! I added a bit of extra garlic and red pepper flakes for a little spice. The mussels were plump and juicy, and the sauce was perfect for dipping bread.
