INGREDIENTS

  • Pasta

    • 1 ½ ounces linguine pasta

  • Seafood

    • 4 ounces frozen mussel meat

  • Dairy

    • 🧈 4 teaspoons unsalted butter, divided
    • ⅓ cup light whipping cream (18%)

  • Vegetables

    • 3 ounces cremini mushrooms
    • 1 large clove garlic, minced

  • Seasoning

    • ¼ cup dry white wine
    • 1 pinch red pepper flakes (Optional)

STEPS

1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine according to package directions until tender yet firm to the bite. Reserve cooking water.

2

Place mussel meat in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse thoroughly with cold water.

3

Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add mussels and cook until thawed, about 3 minutes. Remove to a bowl and set aside.

4

Wipe out the skillet with paper towels. Melt remaining 3 teaspoons butter. Cut large mushrooms into smaller pieces. Add to the skillet and sprinkle with pepper. Cook until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

5

Add wine and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Cook until wine reduces by half, 2 to 3 minutes.

6

Add cream and mussels. Heat until warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.

7

Transfer linguine to the skillet with tongs. Toss to coat in sauce. Add some reserved cooking water to thin sauce, if desired. Transfer to a plate and garnish with lemon zest.
