Method
Preparation
Clean the Mussels
Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any dirt. Remove any beards from the mussels.
Cooking
Sauté the Aromatics
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, sautéing until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Add Wine and Tomatoes
Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Steam the Mussels
Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels open up. Discard any mussels that remain closed.
Garnish and Serve
Remove from heat, stir in the chopped parsley, and serve immediately with crusty bread.
