Mussels and Marinara Sauce

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinara Sauce

    In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

  2. 2

    Add Tomatoes and Seasoning

    Add the canned crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the pan. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Mussels

    Add the cleaned New Zealand green mussels to the pan with the marinara sauce. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels open up. Discard any mussels that do not open.

  4. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Once the mussels are cooked, remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot with the marinara sauce.
