Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 medium shallots, finely chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large garlic clove, minced
1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 celery rib, thinly sliced
1 lb cultivated mussels, scrubbed
6 oz dried linguine
3 tablespoons heavy cream
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

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.

Delicious! The mussels were cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful and light. I served it with a side of crusty bread to soak up all the delicious sauce.

The mussels were cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious, but I found the recipe to be a bit bland. I added some red pepper flakes and lemon juice to give it a little more kick.
