Add wine and mussels and cook, covered, over moderately high heat until mussels just open wide, 6 to 8 minutes. (Discard any mussels that have not opened after 8 minutes.) Transfer mussels with a slotted spoon to a serving bowl, then transfer cooking liquid to a blender along with cream, basil, and pepper and blend until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids). Season sauce with salt and pour over mussels.

[email protected]I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed. The mussels were tough and the sauce was too salty. I won't be making this again.

[email protected]This recipe is a bit too bland for my taste. I would add more garlic and red pepper flakes next time.

[email protected]Not a fan. The sauce was too thin and the mussels were overcooked. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

[email protected]Easy to make and delicious! I used white wine instead of vermouth and it turned out great. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the mussels were tender and juicy. Will definitely make this again.

[email protected]These mussels with basil cream were absolutely divine! The combination of the briny mussels, the creamy sauce, and the fresh basil was perfect. I served them over linguine and it was a hit with my family. Definitely a keeper recipe!
