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. For US cup measures, use the toggle at the top of the ingredients list.
