• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook linguine until al dente.
• Meanwhile, heat butter and oil in a large covered saucepan on medium-high heat. Cook garlic and shallots until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add wine, basil, and red pepper flakes to the pan. Cover and simmer mussels in the white wine sauce until fully cooked and shells open up, about 5 minutes. Stir mussels to coat in the sauce.
• When linguine is finished, strain and stir into the mussels and white wine sauce. Now add cream and Parmesan cheese. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, covered, stirring occasionally until the sauce slightly thickens. Serve topped with a pinch of fresh basil, more Parmesan cheese, and 6-7 mussels.

Cook until starting to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Pour wine into the skillet, add red pepper flakes, and cook until wine has reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in cream and add mussels. Heat until warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.

• Meanwhile, in a wide skillet or saucepan with lid, combine crushed garlic clove and shallot with white wine. Bring to a boil and add mussels. Cover and cook, shaking pan from time to time, 2 to 4 minutes, or until mussels open up. Check mussels after 2 minutes; transfer open mussels to a bowl using tongs. Cover pan again, wait another minute, and repeat until all mussels have opened.
• Leave mussels to cool in bowl until easily removed from shells. Remove half from shells and leave other half intact. Taste a mussel; if it is sandy, give them all a very quick rinse and drain in a colander. Transfer to a bowl and keep covered while you make tomato sauce.
• Place a strainer over another bowl, line with cheesecloth and strain the liquid in the pan into bowl. Reserve 1/2 cup. Rinse and dry pan.
• Heat olive oil over medium heat in pan and add minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, just until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add tomatoes, thyme or marjoram (or both), and sugar.
• Turn heat up to medium-high and cook, stirring often, 5 to 10 minutes, until tomatoes have cooked down slightly. Add 1/2 cup broth from mussels, stir together and bring to a simmer. Taste and add salt as needed (you may not need to add any). Tip all mussels, shelled and unshelled, into sauce, cover and turn heat to very low or remove from heat if not serving right away. Keep warm while you cook pasta.
• Warm a large bowl for the pasta. When water for pasta comes to a rolling boil, salt generously and add pasta. Cook al dente, following the directions on the package. Drain and toss in the warm bowl with tomato sauce, mussels and parsley. Serve right away.

SQUID INK FETTUCCINE WITH BLACK MUSSELS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the pasta: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt, then turn out onto a clean surface and make a large well in the center.
• Add the eggs, egg yolks, olive oil, and squid ink to the well and mix with a fork until combined, slowly incorporating more and more flour into the mixture by moving the fork along the edges of the well. Once almost all of the flour is incorporated, start bringing the dough together with your hands. (The dough should be malleable, but not sticky--add more flour if the dough is sticking too much to your hands or the surface. Alternatively, if it's too dry and tough, whisk another egg with 1 tablespoon of water and use your hand to sprinkle a bit of the mixture over the dough, continuing to do so until the dough is easier to knead.)
• Knead the dough for 7-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. When you poke the dough, it should spring back. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 30-60 minutes, or until it does not spring back when poked.
• On a lightly floured surface, divide into 4 equal portions. Using a pasta roller, laminate and roll out 1 portion of the dough to setting #6. Repeat with the remaining dough.
• Dust the dough sheets with flour and fold each sheet onto itself 4-5 times. With a sharp knife, cut a dough sheet into ¼-inch (6 mm) strips. Unravel and place onto a floured baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough sheets.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta in the boiling water until al dente, about 4 minutes. Reserve ¼ cup (60 ml) of the cooking water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
• Cook the mussels: Melt the olive oil and butter together in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, shallot and salt and cook until the garlic is fragrant and the shallot is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and olives and cook until the wine is reduced by half, about 5 minutes more. Add the mussels, cover the pot with a lid, and cook until the mussels have opened fully, about 6-8 minutes. Discard any mussels that do not open. Remove the pot from the heat.
• Add the cooked pasta to the pot with the mussels and stir until the pasta is coated in the wine reduction. Add the reserved pasta water a bit at a time until a silky sauce is created.
• Divide the pasta and mussels between 4 plates, garnish with the parsley, and serve warm.
• Enjoy!
