Mussels Marinara1 Servings. mussels in shellsIngredientstomatoes in puree or crushed tomatoes (Progresso)or home grown- tough to get in Decemberolive oilgarlic clovesfresh basillinguinesalt and pepperDirectionsIn a big pot, make the sauce, by first sauteing 4 large cloves garlic.When delicately browned add 1 can whole tomatoes plus 1 can crushed tomatoes with 1 can of water.Cook for at least 3 hours on a very low setting with a cover.Add basil before covering along with salt and pepper.Scrub mussels thoroughly being sure to remove all beards and seaweed.I use cultivated mussels - they are much cleaner to start with, but they still have to be scrubbed.Bring sauce to a boil and add mussels.Cover and cook until all mussels are opened completely.Maybe 8-10 minutes.Serve with or over linguine.Category: Appetizers and Snacks
