Calories: 324kcal
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Pastene Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 medium white or yellow onion , diced
- ½ teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Pastene minced garlic
- 1-2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Pastene tomato paste
- 1 (28 ounce) can Pastene Ground Peeled Tomatoes
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3 pounds mussels , cleaned and de-bearded
- ¼ cup Italian parsley , roughly chopped
Instructions
- In a large stock pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, salt, and pepper, and cook until soft but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, and tomato paste. Cook, stirring, for another minute.
- Add the ground peeled tomatoes and then fill the can halfway up with water and add that along with the wine and sugar. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 30-60 minutes, stirring occasionally. (The sauce can be made ahead to this point, store covered in the refrigerator for up to several days.)
- Add the mussels and cook, covered for 4-5 minutes or until the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that do not open.
- Using a slotted spoon, divide the mussels between 4 soup bowls then ladle in the sauce. Garnish with the parsley and serve.
