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.

Steps:
- Pull off the hairlike ''beard'' that may protrude from mussel shells, and cut off any extraneous matter. Rinse mussels thoroughly under cold running water and drain. There should be about 12 cups.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large kettle. Add garlic and cook, stirring without browning, about 1 minute. Add mussels and 3 tablespoons water. Cover closely and cook about 4 minutes or until shells open. As mussels cook, shake kettle to redistribute them so they steam evenly.
- Line a bowl with a large colander and drain mussels. There should be about 1 1/2 cups of broth. Reserve broth.
- If fresh peas are used, drop in a pot of boiling water, cook 3 minutes and drain. If frozen peas are used, put in a sieve and run very hot tap water over them until defrosted. Set aside.
- When mussels are cool enough to handle, remove meat from shells. There should be about 1 1/2 cups. Set aside. Discard shells.
- Pour reserved mussel liquid through a strainer into a large skillet and add ricotta cheese. Stir until blended and simmering.
- Meanwhile, bring the remaining 10 cups of water to a boil and add linguine. If fresh pasta is used, cook 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, or to desired degree of doneness. If dried linguine is used, cook 7 to 9 minutes, or to desired doneness. Drain linguine and add it to ricotta sauce. Add remaining 1/4 cup oil and stir. Add peas, hot red pepper flakes, basil, salt, pepper and mussels. Cook until mussels are heated through and piping hot.

Steps:
- Cook shallots in butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until shallots are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, bell pepper, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until pepper and celery are just tender, about 4 minutes.
- Add mussels and cook over moderately high heat, covered, until they just open, 4 to 6 minutes, checking periodically after 4 minutes and transferring mussels as opened to a bowl. (Discard any unopened mussels after 6 minutes.)
- While sauce is cooking, cook linguine in a 6-quart pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Reserve 3/4 cup cooking water and drain linguine in a colander.
- Add linguine to skillet along with cream, salt, pepper, and 1/3 cup pasta cooking water and bring to a simmer. Add mussels and toss carefully, adding more cooking water if pasta seems dry. Serve immediately, sprinkled with parsley.
Tips:
- Choose fresh mussels: Look for mussels that are tightly closed and have a briny smell. Avoid any mussels that are open or have a foul odor.
- Clean the mussels thoroughly: Use a stiff brush to scrub the mussels under cold running water. Remove any barnacles or dirt from the shells.
- Use a large pot: Mussels will release a lot of liquid as they cook, so it's important to use a large pot to prevent them from boiling over.
- Use a flavorful cooking liquid: The cooking liquid for mussels should be flavorful and aromatic. Good options include white wine, clam juice, chicken broth, or a combination of these liquids.
- Don't overcook the mussels: Mussels only take a few minutes to cook. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
- Serve immediately: Mussels are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be served with linguine, rice, or crusty bread.
Conclusion:
Mussels with linguine is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. By following these tips, you can ensure that your mussels are perfectly cooked and flavorful. Serve them with a glass of white wine and enjoy a taste of the Mediterranean!
