Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds mussels, rinsed
1 pound linguine or spaghetti
3/4 cup white wine
1 shallot, finely chopped
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup fresh basil, finely chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Rinse the mussels and remove beards if necessary, discard any that do not fully close when rinsing (these are dead).
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook linguine until al dente.
  • Meanwhile, heat butter and oil in a large covered saucepan on medium-high heat. Cook garlic and shallots until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add wine, basil, and red pepper flakes to the pan. Cover and simmer mussels in the white wine sauce until fully cooked and shells open up, about 5 minutes. Stir mussels to coat in the sauce.
  • When linguine is finished, strain and stir into the mussels and white wine sauce. Now add cream and Parmesan cheese. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, covered, stirring occasionally until the sauce slightly thickens. Serve topped with a pinch of fresh basil, more Parmesan cheese, and 6-7 mussels.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 clove garlic chopped fine
2 green onions chopped fine
1/2 container of mascarpone cheese
1 c white wine ( may substitute chicken broth)
1 pkg prosciutto chopped (can substitute bacon)
1/2 c parmesan cheese
8 shiitake mushrooms sliced
6 Tbsp olive oil
1 1/4 Tbsp butter
8 large scallops
lemon pepper seasoning
garlic salt

Steps:

  • 1. Begin by adding 2tbsp of butter to a large skillet along with 2 tbsp of olive oil. Season scallops on both sides with lemon pepper seasoning and then add to butter once it is melted. Once cooked, place them in separate container and cover. Add 2tbsp of butter and 2 tbsp of olive to the same skillet along with shiitake mushrooms until mushrooms our tender. Once they are done, remove from skillet and add to container.
  • 2. Now it's time to begin boiling your pasta water since it will take at least 8 minutes to cook. In order to get al dente past, cook it one minutes less than what the instructions say on the package. Prior to adding the paste, be sure to season the water with salt. After the cooking process is completed, leave the pasta in the water versus draining it. This will allow you to use the pasta water if for some reason your dish is too dry at the end.
  • 3. After you've gotten your pasta going, you should begin with white wine sauce. Add 2 tbsp of olive oil to your skillet, then add your onion and garlic with a little bit of salt until tender. Next add your prosciutto to your skillet and cook until done. You will then want to deglaze the pan by one cup of the white wine and then add 3 tbsp of the mascarpone cheese long with the basil. At this point you can add back the mushrooms as well, however leaving the scallops out. Once everything has simmered for a few minutes, you can begin by adding the past directly to the skillet. The excess water on the pasta will keep the dish from becoming dry as well as add additional flavor. Use tongs to mix the pasta into the sauce as well as add grated Parmesan cheese. After you plated the pasta, then top the dish with the scallops, Parmesan cheese along with additional chopped basil for color. Bon Appetite!

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh mussels. If you can't find fresh mussels, you can use frozen mussels, but be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Be sure to clean the mussels thoroughly before cooking. Scrub the shells with a brush and remove any barnacles or other debris. Rinse the mussels well under cold water.
  • Don't overcook the mussels. They should be cooked just until they open. Overcooked mussels will be tough and chewy.
  • If you don't have white wine, you can use another dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk or half-and-half.
  • Serve the pasta immediately, while the mussels are still hot.

Conclusion:

Angel hair pasta with Florida mussels in white wine butter sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. The mussels are plump and juicy, and the sauce is creamy and flavorful. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal.
