Growing up on L.I., Mussels were plentiful. We'd go down to the beach with buckets and would pick the mussels that covered the huge rocks. If you've never tried them, you are certainly missing out!

How to make it
- Directions
- In a large skillet, saute garlic in olive oil about 1 minute.
- Add wine, oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and 2 cups water, bring to a boil.
- Add mussels, lower to a simmer, cover pan, and cook for 6 to 8 minutes. Remove lid and throw away any unopened mussels. Taste and add salt. Put spaghetti in pot, toss with mussels and broth. Heat all the way through.

- Notes:
- Italians generally won't use grated cheese on a fish dish. It's a matter of preference. I always use grated parmesan!
- Mussels in a red sauce is my favorite way to prepare them.
