Ingredients:-
2 lbs of fresh mussels (900 grams)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 large cloves of garlic sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley plus a few sprigs to garnish
2 chili peppers or 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
3/4 white wine (170 ml)
28 ounces San Marzano peeled tomatoes or chopped tomatoes (800 grams).
Directions:-
Step#1 - In a large sauté pan on high heat add the oil, garlic, chili pepper, and parsley.
Step#2- Sauté until garlic is golden, add the white wine (Pinot Grigio) and let it evaporate.

Step#4- Rinse mussels under cold water and remove the beard that’s on the side.
Step#5- Once marinara is cooked add the mussels and higher the heat.
Step#6- Place lid on the pan and every 2 minutes give it a shake.
Step#7- After 5 minutes remove the lid and let some water evaporate for a couple of minutes.
They are now ready to eat!
Buon appetito!

[@anitafiretto4332]

I love mussels and can’t wait to try this simple recipe. I found your channel 2 weeks ago and I’ve watched so many of your recipes. Will attempt to make your Chicken Stuffed with Mozzarella and Roasted Peppers tomorrow and can’t wait to make your St Joseph’s Zeppole for St Joseph’s Day this Friday. God Bless You and your family! BTW, my father also told me that they crush unripe and bruised tomatoes together with some ripe ones when they make crushed tomatoes so I also only buy plum and crush them with my hands or with an immersion blender.

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

Anita you just made so so happy! I’m in the kitchen right now making 3 of the stuffed chicken. I just made the crema pasticciera for the zeppole too. Thank you, God bless you and family. It’s all about making memories and carrying on our traditions. Be safe and let’s keep cooking together 🥰♥️💚🤍

I was just thinking about you! Staying warm? It's back up into the 70's and 80's here..I feel like having some mussels! These look delish! I love them! Happy Sunday! ❤❤😘

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

Thank you Susan! Winter months mussels and clams are the best. Hope you make them. It’s snowing 🌨 crazy here, enjoy the sun ☀️ and send some up. Buona domenica cara amica

[@Sirianstar10]

@@alessandrasfoodislove I would love to see snow again just once. Stay safe and warm! Oh and PS...l am making them. If it wasn't Super Bowl Sunday? I'd go to the store right now but I will only go during the week when it's not as crowded. Too dangerous for a non vaccinated 66 year old with co morbidities. Ugh..But I will for sure!

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

@@Sirianstar10 if I do a video today I’ll video the snow for you. 🌨🥰 be safe snd go out during the week. The anticipation will make the meal even more special. 🥰

[@Sirianstar10]

@@alessandrasfoodislove That is true! I will make them for sure! If you do a video I would love to see it. My grandkids would love it too. Snow to a Floridian is a very foreign concept. I left New York when I was 15 so I do remember it. But only kid memories. They're all fun memories.

@@Sirianstar10 I will tape some snow for you! 🌨 you were a little girl when you moved.

Unlike Susan.... it's snowing like crazy in N.J.....But it's cozy in my kitchen & lets say its a winter wonderland, so looking forward Alexandra to making this dish, as with all of your dishes..."THE BEST" !! Ive got to get the Mussels so I'll just get educated today thx..Alex love you

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

Thank you Ann! Since you’re in New Jersey try your local shop rite, I usually get them there and very happy. If you see a lady sniffing the bags of mussels it’s me. LOL 😂 Be safe with this snow. Hope to have lots of new videos coming out. 🥰🙏🏻buona domenica

[@Sirianstar10]

My relatives are on Long Island so I guess they're getting the white stuff again too! It is beautiful. I'd love to see it again! Memories from my childhood. Stay warm!!! ❤❤❤

[@Sirianstar10]

One of my cousins from Long Island just sent me a picture of her front yard. The message had many many curse words in it describing how they got six more inches of snow. She makes me laugh she's so funny. You would think a drunken sailor wrote that message to me but I have no room to talk. I'm the same way. LOL

Just found your channel. Watched 3 of them already within 20 minutes. I subscribed and hit the little bell too. As a recording engineer and very sensitive to sound, you need to have a personal mic, clipped on you so your voice isn’t bouncing all over your kitchen. 🎼🎶🎵🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵🎶

Good morning! I’m going to make this for Christmas Eve, can this be done ahead of time and just reheated? Also I’m thinking of 4 lbs (double recipe) for 8 people …..just a taste. What do you think? Thanks! Buon Natale!

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

It totally sounds delicious!! I’m coming over too. 💫🎄 yes for both questions. Buon Natale 💕

[@Darkminn87]

What sort of white wine do you use?

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

Thank you Philip. I usually drink Pinot Grigio and use it in my food too. Buon anno 🎆

[@MrGSaponieri]

American Italians put wine in a bunch of garlic frying in a simil olive oil Marinara source also, we don’t know what is it in Italy

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

Interessante!

[@sabihaaltaf6742]

What can I substitute the wine with?

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

Hi Sabiha, Just don’t add anything. They’ll be delicious too. Also, check out supermarket cooking wine it has no alcohol in it. Believe me if you don’t add it it will be just fine. Thank you so much for watching 💖

[@Madanth0ny]

I know this is a sin but can I use tomato sauce instead of canned tomato’s ?

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

Thank you for watching. 💕 like a passata sauce? Not a bad idea

[@italianballbreaker]

What white wine do you suggest?

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

Thank you for watching. We drink a Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio and that’s what I use to Cook too. Buon Natale 💫🎄🎁

@@alessandrasfoodislove Grazie Buon Natale 🎄

[@Harrison2253]

It looks great and I'm sure it tastes great but not enough sauce for bread dipping and eating the muscles !

[@alexdelgado4662]

What size and type of saute pan is that?

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

Hi Alex, I picked up my sauté pan at my local Costco. It’s about 13 inches round and 4 tall. Hope this helps. Thank you so much for watching! 💚🤍♥️

[@judithiorio6403]

4/28/23 ... You didn't explain when and how to clean the mussels before starting the cooking process ????

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

So sorry. I clean them right before using. I also buy them the same day because you don’t want them to die before cooking. They should be alive. If any are open just discard. Thank you so much for watching

[@syedraquib]

Don't you need to clean the muscle?

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

Here in the USA they come pretty much cleaned. Just need to pull the beard. Thank you for watching 💕

[@holdonasec6196]
