Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

¼ cup olive oil
salt to taste
½ (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta
½ cup Chardonnay white wine
1 pound fresh mussels
½ cup salted butter
1 head garlic, peeled and minced
1 shallot, minced
1 small French baguette, halved lengthwise
1 teaspoon smoked paprika, or to taste
1 teaspoon dried basil, or to taste
3 jalapeno peppers, diced, or more to taste
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Fill a medium pot halfway with water and bring to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and salt. Carefully break pasta in half and place into the boiling water. Cook until tender yet firm to the bite, about 4 minutes. Drain in a colander and toss with remaining olive oil. Set aside and allow pasta to cool.
  • Fill a large pot 1/3 of the way with water. Add 1/4 cup wine and bring to a boil. Carefully add mussels and cook until shells have opened up, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, measure 3/4 cup cooking liquid into a bowl, and cover the pot.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Melt 1/3 of the butter in a saucepan. Saute 1/3 of the garlic and shallot until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Spread over the baguette halves. Spoon melted butter evenly over both halves.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until hot, about 5 minutes. Broil until top is browned, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle paprika and basil on top.
  • Melt remaining butter in the same saucepan. Saute remaining garlic, shallot, and jalapeno peppers until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/4 cup wine and reserved cooking liquid. Cook and stir until sauce is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add pasta; toss well to combine.
  • Remove pasta from heat. Add Parmesan cheese and salt. Toss together. Divide pasta among serving plates. Arrange mussels around the pasta. Serve with sliced garlic bread.

The mussels were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I will try it again with less cooking time.

I have made this dish several times and it is always a hit with my family and friends. The mussels are always cooked perfectly and the sauce is so flavorful. I like to add a little bit of red pepper flakes to give it a bit of a kick.

This angel hair pasta dish with Florida mussels was a delight! The mussels were plump and flavorful, and the white wine butter sauce was creamy and rich. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. I will definitely be making this dish again.
