I was wandering around Whole Foods today looking for some ingredients for the mushroom pate i was going to make and passed by the fish department where they had beautiful looking mussels for $5.99 for a 2 pound bag. I quickly purchased those, and some rice pasta, scallions, and fresh parsley.
I always keep those frozen garlic cubes in my freezer, heated a deep pan, drizzled it with oil and dropped in 3 of the garlic cubes, chopped up a bunch of scallions and sauteed till the garlic was just turning slightly brown. Then i dropped in some puttanesca jarred sauce, added some hot peppers, and the bag of cleaned mussels. Covered and cooked on medium heat for 10 minutes.
In the meanwhile I dumped a bag of Tinkyada Brown Rice Squiggly Pasta with Rice Bran into boiling water with a touch of salt, and i cooked for the same 10 minutes.
Drained the pasta, and since the mussels took up the entire deep pan, I poured that mixture into the pasta pot, and heated another few minutes until the pasta had a chance to absorb the sauce.
I chopped up some fresh parsely, and mixed in on top of the pasta and mussels, and served in deep bowls.
Yum. Sorry no pix tonite - I am soooo tired.
