Mussels steam in about five minutes and are an excellent choice for a quick supper. You can often buy them (scrubbed clean with the beards mostly removed) in 2-lb (1 kg) bags in the fish section of the supermarket.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp hot pepper flakes
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 can tomatoes (with juice), (28 oz/796 mL)
  • 1/3 cup white wine or vegetable stock
  • 2 lb mussels
  • 1 lb linguine
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Preparation

In large shallow Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat; cook garlic, salt, hot pepper flakes and pepper until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and wine, breaking up tomatoes with spoon; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until spoon scraped across bottom of pan leaves gap that fills in slowly, about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, rinse mussels and remove any beards; discard any mussels that do not close when tapped. Add mussels to pan; cover and cook, shaking pan occasionally, until mussels open, about 5 minutes. Discard any mussels that do not open.

Meanwhile, in large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until tender but firm, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and return to pot. Add sauce and parsley; toss to coat.
