1
Clean the Mussels
Rinse the mussels under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.

2
Sauté Garlic
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn it.
3
Add Wine and Spices
Pour in the dry white wine and add the crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper (to taste). Bring the mixture to a simmer.
4
Cook Mussels
Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover with a lid, and let them cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until all mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that remain closed.
5
Finish with Herbs
Once the mussels are cooked, add the chopped parsley and basil. Stir gently to combine and let it cook for another minute.
