Cozze Fradiavalo Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Mussels

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

2. 2

   Sauté the Aromatics

   In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing until the garlic is fragrant but not browned, about 1-2 minutes.

3. 3

   Make the Sauce

   Add the canned crushed tomatoes and white wine to the pot. Stir to combine, then season with salt and black pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

4. 4

   Steam the Mussels

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

5. 5

   Garnish and Serve

   Stir in the chopped parsley, taste for seasoning, and adjust if necessary. Serve the mussels in bowls with the spicy tomato sauce ladled over the top.
