Remove cover, simmer until sauce thickens. Remove top half of shell and add mussels to sauce, cover and cook over medium-high heat just long enough to heat mussels. Cook the linguine according to directions and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil to prevent sticking. Cover linguine with mussels and sauce. Serve immediately. Makes 8-10 servings.
