Love Mussels Recipe
Super dish for just you and that special someone. Use a good white wine for cooking that you can enjoy with the meal. You won't even have to remind them to kiss the chef!

  2. Add tomatoes, oregano, pesto and red pepper flakes to skillet.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. In the meantime, cook the pasta according to package directions (I don't like al dente, so I make it a bit softer than that)
  5. Add wine and mussels to the skillet.
  6. Cover skillet and increase the heat to high for just about 3-5 minutes or until all the mussels are open.
  7. Pour over hot pasta, sprinkle with parsley and a squeeze of lemon wedge.
