Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 large garlic cloves, sliced
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
1 cup dry white wine
2 pounds cultivated mussels, scrubbed
1 pound thin linguine
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1 1/2 cups chopped herbs such as basil, dill, flat-leaf parsley, and oregano

Steps:

  • Heat oil and butter in a 5-to 6-quart heavy pot over medium heat until foam subsides. Cook garlic, fennel seeds, and red pepper flakes with 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper, stirring, until garlic is softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add wine and boil until reduced by half, 4 to 5 minutes. Add mussels and cook, covered, shaking pot occasionally, just until mussels open wide, 5 to 8 minutes. (Discard any that remain unopened after 8 minutes.) Remove from heat and keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, cook linguine in a pasta pot of well-salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain linguine.
  • Toss linguine with mussels and any liquid from pot, cheese, and herbs. Thin with reserved cooking water if desired.

The mussels were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious.

This dish was a bit too fishy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a different type of seafood.

I've made this dish several times now and it's always a hit with my family and friends. The mussels are always cooked perfectly and the sauce is so flavorful. I love adding a little extra garlic and red pepper flakes to give it a bit of a kick.

This linguine with mussels and fresh herbs was absolutely delicious! The mussels were plump and juicy, and the sauce was flavorful and aromatic. I loved the combination of herbs and the lemon zest. It was a perfect summer meal.
