MUSSELS AND PASTA WITH CREAMY WINE SAUCE
I love seafood and always have a bag, or two, of mussel meat in the freezer. It's fairly inexpensive and is usually found in a case by the fresh fish. This cooks up really quickly, so have everything prepped before starting.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
- Place mussel meat in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse thoroughly with cold water.
- Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Gently warm the mussels until they release their water, about 3 minutes. Remove to a bowl and set aside.
- Wipe out the skillet with paper towels. Melt remaining 3 teaspoons butter in the skillet. Cut any large mushrooms into smaller pieces. Add to the skillet and sprinkle with pepper. Cook until starting to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Pour wine into the skillet, add red pepper flakes, and cook until wine has reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in cream and add mussels. Heat until warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Use tongs to lift linguine out of the pot and add to the skillet with some of the cooking water. Toss to coat with sauce. Plate and garnish with lemon zest.

MUSSEL MOUCLADE PASTA
The slight spice of mild curry powder enhances rather than overpowers the mussels in this pasta dish - great budget treat for two

Steps:
- Boil the pasta in salted water, following pack instructions. Meanwhile, heat a large, wide, lidded pan. Melt the butter and add the onion. Cover and cook on a medium heat for about 7 mins until soft and turning golden here and there. Add the curry power and garlic, and cook for 1 min more.
- Turn up the heat and add the mussels to the pan. Pour in the wine (it should steam dramatically), then cover with a tight-fitting lid. Cook over high heat for 5 mins, shaking the pan every now and again, untll the mussels are wide open. Discard any that remain closed, then lift the mussels from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside. Drain the pasta when it's ready.
- Stir the cream into the mussel cooking liquor, then boil hard for 30 secs or so until the sauce is the consistency of single cream. If it gets too thick, add a splash of water. Taste and check the seasoning; I like this with lots of black pepper, which gives heat, instead of using chilli. Return the mussels to the pan, add the coriander and the pasta, and toss well. Serve in large shallow bowls, with a bowl for discarded shells.

PASTA WITH MUSSELS, TOMATOES AND FRIED CAPERS
The best part of a big pot of mussels is arguably the broth, especially when it features plenty of garlic and wine. Here, the mussels and their broth - combined with ripe summer tomatoes - make a heady, rich sauce for pasta. A topping of toasted garlicky bread crumbs run through with fried capers gives the mixture texture and tang. This is just as good warm as it is hot, so feel free to make it up to an hour in advance, adding the herbs just before serving.

Steps:
- Bring a medium pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions until 2 minutes shy of al dente. Drain.
- As pasta cooks, prepare the bread crumbs: In a large pot, heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add capers and minced garlic, and let sizzle for 30 seconds. Add bread crumbs, and fry until both crumbs and capers are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Scrape the crumbs and capers onto a plate, and season to taste with salt.
- Add remaining tablespoon oil to pot and let it get hot. Add sliced garlic and red-pepper flakes, and let sizzle until garlic is golden at the edges, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until tomatoes have softened and start to lose their shape, about 6 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer tomato solids to a small bowl, add lemon juice to taste, and set aside.
- Add wine and oregano to the pot and bring to a simmer. Add mussels, cover and cook over medium heat, shaking the pot occasionally, until mussels have opened and are cooked through, about 4 to 7 minutes. Transfer mussels with a slotted spoon to a large bowl, and let cool slightly. Discard any unopened mussels.
- Simmer the mussels liquid until reduced to a glaze, about 5 minutes. Discard oregano sprigs.
- When mussels are still hot (but not too hot to handle), pull meat from shells and add to the pot with reduced mussel broth (discard shells). Add pasta, tomatoes and butter, and toss well. Taste and add more lemon juice and salt if needed.
- Transfer mixture to a shallow serving bowl and toss with herbs. Top with bread crumb-caper mixture and serve.
PASTA WITH SPICY MUSSELS
This is a wonderful, inexpensive dish that's great for a crowd. The broth-like sauce is light, yet full of great flavor. I choose not to add any butter, but rather use the lighter taste of olive oil for the fat in this dish. A word of caution: this recipe feeds about 6, but takes up a lot of room, especially once the mussels are all opened in their shells. I gave a small hint at the end of how one might serve this without overflowing their bowl. You might also like to spoon the pasta into individual serving bowls, and then top each one with mussels and broth, whichever you prefer. Use your best judgment!

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta.
- The following step is optional, but it works really well.
- After youve given the mussels a quick scrub and pulled off any of the beards, place them in a large bowl filled with cold water and several ice cubes.
- Squeeze the juice of the lemon into the water, toss in the squeezed halves, and add the heaping tsp of salt.
- Allow mussels to sit for about ½ an hour, and they will spit out any sand or other stuff that might be inside their shells.
- (This is an old Neapolitan trick my husbands mother used for all shellfish).
- After about ½ hour, drain mussels, give then a quick rinse under come running cold water and set aside while you make the broth.
- Preheat large skillet over medium heat, and add olive oil.
- Next add the minced shallots, and sauté for a minute or two.
- Add the sliced garlic, and crushed red pepper to taste, and sauté for another minute, careful not to let the garlic get too brown.
- Slowly add the fish stock.
- (If using wine and stock, add the wine first, bring it up to a boil and then add the fish stock) Let the stock simmer for a few minutes with the shallot and garlic, and then add the diced tomatoes.
- When sauce comes to a boil, add the mussels to the pan, give then a quick toss, and put the lid on and let stem for about 3-5 minutes.
- Add pasta to boiling water and cook for 7 minutes, or until done to your liking.
- When mussels have all opened, turn off the heat, give them another stir to get all the liquid up from the bottom, add the fresh basil and put the lid back until the pasta is finished.
- Drain pasta.
- To Serve: Unless you have an enormous pasta-serving bowl, heres what I suggest.
- Add a couple ladles of the cooking broth in the bottom of your serving bowl and add about half of the pasta.
- Scoop out about half of the mussels with broth and lay over top the pasta until bowl is filled.
- Add the remaining pasta back into the skillet with the rest of the broth and mussels.
