    Spaghetteria Mamma Mia

    List of Ingredients




    1 tablespoon butter
    1/4 white onion, chopped
    1 teaspoon chopped garlic
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
    1/8 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
    1 teaspoon chopped parsley
    3 ounces (about 1/3 cup) crumbled salsiccia (spicy Italian sausage)
    1/2 cup red wine
    1 1/3 cups tomato sauce
    24 black Atlantic mussels (see note)

    Recipe



    In a large saucepan, combine butter, onion, garlic, salt, black
    pepper, red pepper, parsley and sausage; cook and stir over
    medium-high heat until sausage is browned. Add wine, stirring with a
    wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits from the pan. Add tomato
    sauce, then mussels. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mussels open
    and sauce is somewhat reduced. Arrange mussels in a circle on plates;
    pour sauce over mussels and in the center of the circle. Serve
    immediately.

    Note: Examine mussels before adding. If a shell is slightly open, rap
    the mussel firmly on the counter. If the shell does not close, the
    mussel should be discarded. Any mussels that do not open after
    cooking also should be discarded.

    Serves 4.
