-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 pound Mussels
1/2 cup Red wine
2 pound Tomato
Mushrooms

My own creation. Clean 2lbs. mussels in H2O & lots of black pepper for an
hour & then drain. Clean beards off mussels. In a large pan, saute garlic
in 2 tbls of olive oil, slow heat. Add basil leaves, Italian seasoning, red
pepper flakes, parsley,>> onions, mushrooms and green pep- pers.
Everything should be fresh,esp mushrooms & add ingredientes to taste. I add
a lot because I love full flavors. Saute for 15 minutes and then add 2- 1 lb
cans or larger, of peeled tomatoes.
Break the tomatoes with your hands & blend. Cover and simmer for 1 hour,
stirring frequently. Add 2 fresh, diced tomatoesand cook for another 10-15 min
longer. Add 1/4-1/2cup of dry red wine &cook for another 10 minutes. Don't
over-heat, don't dry up the sauce. I love my sauces watery as you seem to.
Adjust seasonings to taste as you go.
Use freshly grated parmasan AND romano cheese for the top- ping &add all on
top of cooked pasta. Add fresh pepper- black &/or red. Serve with a DARK
green salad and serve with a slightly chilled Chianti red wine. Add candle
light and with Classical guitar in the background makes quite an
>>>>>>> evening. I hope you can adjust the seasonings to
your lik- ing because that's how I cook-according to my taste. I get rave
reviews for my cuisian so it can work. Enjoy! CECILIA HEIGHT (GWJJ62B)
