Linguine With Mussels

Name: Linguine With Mussels
Cuisine: European, Italian, Mediterranean
Ingredients: 500 grams mussels; salt; 250 grams linguine; 3 tablespoons olive oil; 1 clove garlic (cut into shards); 1 long fresh red chilli pepper (deseeded and cut into strips); 100 millilitres amontillado sherry; 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

You might label this shiny black musselled variation of linguine alle vongole, linguine alle cozze, but to be frank, this version is not very Italian-flavoured. It owes something to the French taste for moules mariniere, and reaches Spainwards for a slug of sherry, in place of the usual white wine, to add oomph to the molluscs' briney juices.
