Method

  1. 1 Clean the mussel shells thoroughly and remove any attached tentacles, discarding any with cracked shells or those that don't close when tapped.
  2. 2 Sauté the garlic and dried chilies, then add the mussels, pour in the white wine, and cover for 4 minutes.
  3. 3 Remove the mussels from the water, extract most of the meat, and strain the mussel juice through a cloth.
  4. 4 Cook sliced tomatoes with mussel broth until the sauce is slightly thickened.
  5. 5 Add the cooked al dente pasta to the sauce, stir in the mussels, and sprinkle with parsley.

With an appliance

  • Microwave 27 min

    Replace step 2: place mussels, garlic, dried chili peppers, and wine in a bowl with a vented lid, and microwave at 900 W for 4 minutes; step 3 still involves straining the mussel broth through a cloth and discarding any mussels that do not open.
