Mussels Marinara Recipe

Mussels Marinara Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Mussels

   Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any debris. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.

2. 2

   Sauté the Garlic

   In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, sautéing until the garlic is fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Tomatoes and Wine

   Stir in the crushed tomatoes and white wine, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors.

4. 4

   Cook the Mussels

   Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover it, and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that remain closed.

5. 5

   Finish and Serve

   Stir in the chopped parsley and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve the mussels hot, with the sauce spooned over them.
