Italian Mussels & Pasta
This combination of mussels with plenty of garlic, parsley, saffron and white wine was inspired by the Venetian soup zuppa di pesce, which is usually ladled over sliced crusty bread. Here we serve it over pasta. For a more elegant presentation, you can remove the mussels from their shells before serving...but then again, who wants to be elegant? Enjoy!
