MUSSELS AND PASTA WITH CREAMY WINE SAUCE
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.

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.

MUSSELS IN GREEN CURRY SAUCE
Is there anything more comforting than a bowl of mussels with a warm, luscious sauce? The mussels come together in no time, but don't lack any flavor in this delicious recipe. That's because as the mussels cook, they release their own liquid, which is packed with flavor from the ocean. Don't forget the bread! You'll want to soak up all of this curry sauce.

Steps:
- Remove any hairy beards from the mussels. Discard any mussels that are open and don't close after being tapped. Add the mussels to a medium bowl and cover with cold water; stir with your hand to remove any sand. Drain and set aside.
- Preheat the broiler. Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and broil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the coconut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Stir in the ginger, cilantro stems and the white parts of the bok choy. Cook until slightly softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the curry paste and lime zest. Stir to coat the vegetables, about 2 minutes. Add the coconut milk, fish sauce, sugar and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer and add the mussels. Cover and cook until the mussels open, 5 to 7 minutes (discard any unopened mussels). Uncover and reduce the heat to low. Add the green parts of the bok choy and half of the cilantro leaves. Toss to wilt slightly.
- Divide the mussels and sauce among shallow bowls and top with the remaining cilantro leaves. Serve with lime wedges and the toasted baguette slices.

SPAGHETTI WITH GARLIC MUSSELS IN BLACK OLIVE SAUCE
Steps:
- For the sauce: In a saucepan set over medium heat cook the wine and shallots until the liquid reduces by half. Add the cream and simmer until the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat.
- Place the kalamata olives, oil-cured olives, basil, lemon juice, olive oil, anchovy paste and garlic in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until just smooth, but still a little chunky.
- Combine the cream sauce and olive sauce.
- For the mussels: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
- Meanwhile, in a separate pot, cook the garlic in the olive oil until just brown. Add the paprika and pepper flakes. Add the mussels. Add the wine and cook to reduce by half. Add the lemon juice, then cover and cook until the mussels open. Throw away any mussels that don't open. Reserve the mussels and cooking liquid for later use.
- While the mussels cook, boil the pasta to al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Stir in the butter, parsley and oregano. Toss the spaghetti with the olive sauce, and then spoon some mussels on top with some of the cooking liquid and serve.
