Categories     Seafood

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 cups of peeled tomatoes
½ cup dry white wine
pinch of saffron threads
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
pinch of cayenne pepper
2 lbs fresh mussels
fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
cooked pasta or bruschetta, for serving

Steps:

  • 1. Preparation: In a large saucepan or pasta pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and tomatoes. With a wooden spoon, break up the tomatoes and stir. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the tomatoes lose their rawness, about 10 minutes.
  • 2. Add the wine and season with saffron, salt and pepper. Add the red pepper and cayenne pepper, to taste depending on desired heat (if using). Increase the heat to medium-high and simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes. Add the mussels, cover and cook until they open, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • 3. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve over pasta or with a side of Bruschetta for dipping in the sauce.

The mussels were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend cooking the mussels for a shorter amount of time.

This recipe was easy to follow and the mussels turned out great. The sauce was a little too spicy for my taste, but that's easily adjustable.
