Rope Cultured Mussels and Accompaniments

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Focaccia

    If you haven't made the homemade focaccia yet, prepare it according to your favorite recipe and set it aside to cool.

  2. 2

    Cook the Fettucine

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the fettucine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Mussels

    Add the rope cultured mussels to the skillet and pour in the white wine. Increase the heat to high and cover the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the mussels have opened.

  5. 5

    Combine and Season

    Once the mussels are cooked, add the cooked fettucine to the skillet. Toss to combine, and add chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Distribute the mussels and fettucine into bowls and serve with slices of homemade focaccia on the side.
