fresh mussels

Instructions

  1. Inspect the mussels and discard any that have broken shells or shells that do not close when lightly pressed together. Remove the thread-like beard by pulling toward the hinge of the shells until it is released; discard. Wash the mussels under cold runny water using a vegetable brush to clean shells.
  1. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or large pot set over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, salt, pepper and hot pepper flakes. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until softened. Pour in the wine and simmer for 1 minute. Stir in the pasta sauce and mussels.
  1. Increase the heat to medium-high. Cook, covered, for 10 minutes or until most of the shells open. Discard any unopened mussels. Serve immediately.
