abdulatifu.nsamba@yahoo.comI loved the flavor of this dish, but I found the mussles to be a bit gritty. I think I will try it again with clams instead.

o19@hotmail.co.ukThis fettuccine with mussles is easy breezy! I used a whole bottle of white wine instead of half like the recipe calls for, and it came out delicious.
