No muscle is needed to get the family to the table when this dish of Linguini with Mussels is served!
What You'll Need
- 1 pound linguine
- 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, undrained
- 1 pound fresh mussels, cleaned (see Note)
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
What to Do
- Cook and drain the pasta according to the package directions; place in a large serving bowl and cover to keep warm.
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat crushed tomatoes until simmering.
- Add mussels and cook 2 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients except the pasta.
- Cover and simmer over low heat 3 to 5 minutes, until the mussels open. Discard any mussels that do not open.
- Pour over the hot pasta and toss until evenly combined. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Some fish markets sell mussels already cleaned and ready for cooking. If you buy mussels that aren't prepared, here's what to do: Wash them under cold running water and scrub away any grit or barnacles with a stiff food scrub brush. Remove the black "beard" from each mussel by cutting or pulling it off.

I just add chopped clams from a couple of cans instead of the mussels. Everytime I go to a restaurant and order mussels, there is always grit. I think they were cleaned, but it's actually part of the shell. It grosses me out. Sometimes I also use clam sauce and omit the tomatoes.
