  1. Made this on Saturday for dinner...absolutely divine. So quick and easy to make and not expensive and the flavors were amazing. Company would think you slaved over a hot stove for a while because it was so great looking. Made it as is written except I used linguini. My mussels came in a 2 lb bag, so I made the meal for the 2 of us and with the leftover mussels I cooked them and then just added to the portion that was left over for my sweethearts dinner for the next day for work. So basically I got 3 portions out of the recipe, maybe my portions are bigger and that's why I didn't get 4 servings but it was so good. I will definitely make this again, thanks so much for sharing ratherbeswimmin, your recipes are always so good.
     
  2. TOTALLY divine if you love moules as we do, you must try this! This was a superb pasta dish. I had made moules frites the day before, so I put some moules aside for this recipe.......then all I had to do was make the sauce, boil the pasta - I used fettucini - and heat up the moules in the pasta water - et voila! Made for the Seafood Photo Event in the Photos Forum August 2008 - and ON my list to make again already! Merci - FT:-)
