This recipe is very affordable to make. Mussels are a relatively inexpensive seafood, and the other ingredients are also very affordable. I was able to make a delicious meal for four people for under $20.

This recipe is a healthy and delicious way to enjoy mussels. The mussels are a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, and the sauce is made with heart-healthy olive oil. I like to serve this dish with a side of steamed vegetables.

The mussels were plump and juicy, and the sauce was rich and flavorful. The only thing I would change is to add a little more garlic. Overall, this is a great recipe for a special occasion.
