MUSSELS AND PASTA WITH CREAMY WINE SAUCE



Mussels and Pasta with Creamy Wine Sauce image

I love seafood and always have a bag, or two, of mussel meat in the freezer. It's fairly inexpensive and is usually found in a case by the fresh fish. This cooks up really quickly, so have everything prepped before starting.

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Mussels

Time 30m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ½ ounces linguine pasta
4 ounces frozen mussel meat
4 teaspoons unsalted butter, divided
3 ounces cremini mushrooms
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 large clove garlic, minced
¼ cup dry white wine
1 pinch red pepper flakes
⅓ cup light whipping cream (18%)
½ lemon, zested

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
  • Place mussel meat in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse thoroughly with cold water.
  • Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Gently warm the mussels until they release their water, about 3 minutes. Remove to a bowl and set aside.
  • Wipe out the skillet with paper towels. Melt remaining 3 teaspoons butter in the skillet. Cut any large mushrooms into smaller pieces. Add to the skillet and sprinkle with pepper. Cook until starting to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Pour wine into the skillet, add red pepper flakes, and cook until wine has reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in cream and add mussels. Heat until warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Use tongs to lift linguine out of the pot and add to the skillet with some of the cooking water. Toss to coat with sauce. Plate and garnish with lemon zest.

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 pounds cultivated mussels
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons good olive oil
1 cup chopped shallots (5 to 7 shallots)
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic (5 to 6 cloves)
1/2 cup chopped canned plum tomatoes, drained (4 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon good saffron threads
1/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 cup good white wine
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • To clean the mussels, put them in a large bowl with 2 quarts of water and the flour and soak for 30 minutes, or until the mussels disgorge any sand. Drain the mussels, then remove the "beard" from each with your fingers. If they're dirty, scrub the mussels with a brush under running water. Discard any mussels whose shells aren't tightly shut.
  • In a large non-aluminum stockpot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for 5 minutes; then add the garlic and cook for 3 more minutes, or until the shallots are translucent. Add the tomatoes, saffron, parsley, thyme, wine, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
  • Add the mussels, stir well, then cover the pot, and cook over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until all the mussels are opened (discard any that do not open). With the lid on, shake the pot once or twice to be sure the mussels don't burn on the bottom. Pour the mussels and the sauce into a large bowl and serve hot.

Tips for the Perfect Mussels with White Wine and Pasta

- Ensure the mussels are fresh and properly cleaned before cooking. Discard any mussels that are open or have broken shells. - Use a variety of aromatics, such as garlic, shallots, and celery, to create a flavorful base for the sauce. - Sauté the aromatics in butter or olive oil until softened, but not browned. - Add the mussels and white wine to the pot and cover tightly. Allow the mussels to steam until they open, shaking the pot occasionally. - Remove the mussels from the pot and set aside. Strain the cooking liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a saucepan. - Reduce the cooking liquid by half over medium heat, then stir in the heavy cream. Bring the sauce to a simmer and season to taste with salt and pepper. - Add the mussels back to the sauce and heat through. - Serve the mussels with pasta, crusty bread, or steamed vegetables.
