1
Clean the Mussels
Rinse the mussels under cold running water to remove any sand or debris. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
3
Chop the Parsley
Finely chop the parsley leaves for garnish.

4
Sauté the Garlic
In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
5
Add the Mussels
Add the cleaned mussels to the pot and pour in the white wine. Stir to combine.
6
Cook the Mussels
Cover the pot and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels open up. Discard any mussels that remain closed.
7
Make the Cream Sauce
Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine and let simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
8
Serve
Ladle the mussels and creamy sauce into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
