Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 pounds mussels
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 bunch parsley, leaves only, chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine or vermouth
1/2 cup fish stock or water
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper flakes (or to taste)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 pound spaghettini
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • De-beard the mussels and scrub the shells. Discard any open mussels that do not close when tapped or held under cold water. Rinse the mussels thoroughly under cold running water and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, gently saute the onion and the garlic in the oil. Add the parsley, wine, stock and hot pepper flakes. Bring to boil, turn down heat and simmer for five minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring four quarts salted water to the boil for the pasta in a large stock pot.
  • Add the mussels to the skillet and cook them until they open (about 5 minutes). Test the sauce and season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook the spaghettini until al dente. Drain and return to the stock pot with the butter. Stir well to prevent the pasta from sticking.
  • Place the pasta in a large heated serving bowl. Pour the mussels and the sauce over the top. Serve immediately.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and red pepper flakes to give it a little more flavor.

I had some trouble finding fresh mussels, so I used frozen ones instead. The dish still turned out great! The green sauce was very flavorful and the mussels were tender and juicy.

The green sauce was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise the dish was very good. The mussels were cooked perfectly and the spaghettini was al dente.

Absolutely delicious! The green sauce was so flavorful and the mussels were cooked perfectly. I served it over linguine instead of spaghettini and it was still amazing. Will definitely make this again!
