I love this recipe! The mussels are always cooked perfectly and the sauce is so creamy and flavorful. I always serve it with some crusty bread to soak up all the delicious sauce.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but overall it was still good. I would recommend using less chili flakes next time.
