Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 pounds mussels
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 bunch parsley, leaves only, chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine or vermouth
1/2 cup fish stock or water
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper flakes (or to taste)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 pound spaghettini
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • De-beard the mussels and scrub the shells. Discard any open mussels that do not close when tapped or held under cold water. Rinse the mussels thoroughly under cold running water and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, gently saute the onion and the garlic in the oil. Add the parsley, wine, stock and hot pepper flakes. Bring to boil, turn down heat and simmer for five minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring four quarts salted water to the boil for the pasta in a large stock pot.
  • Add the mussels to the skillet and cook them until they open (about 5 minutes). Test the sauce and season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook the spaghettini until al dente. Drain and return to the stock pot with the butter. Stir well to prevent the pasta from sticking.
  • Place the pasta in a large heated serving bowl. Pour the mussels and the sauce over the top. Serve immediately.

I'm not a big fan of cooking with seafood, but this recipe was so easy that even I could do it. And it turned out delicious!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover mussels. I had some leftover from a seafood boil and they worked perfectly in this dish.

I added a little bit of red pepper flakes to the green sauce to give it a bit of a kick. It was delicious!

I didn't have any white wine on hand, so I used chicken broth instead. It turned out just as well.

This dish was a little too salty for my taste, but I think that was because I used salted butter instead of unsalted butter. Otherwise, it was a great recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out great! The mussels were tender and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I served it with a side of crusty bread to soak up all the delicious sauce.
