Ingredients

Method

Using stiff brush, scrub mussels; remove any beards. Discard any mussels that do not close when tapped. Set aside. 

In large pot, heat butter and oil over medium heat; cook onion, garlic, salt, pepper and hot pepper flakes (if using), stirring often, until softened, about 8 minutes. Stir in tomato paste; cook for 1 minute. 

Add wine (if using); cook for 1 minute. 

Add tomatoes and sugar; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.

Add mussels, stirring to coat. Increase heat to medium; cover and cook until mussels open, about 5 minutes. Discard any mussels that remain closed.

Meanwhile, in large pot of boiling water, cook pasta according to package directions; drain. 

Add pasta to mussel mixture; stir to coat. Divide among bowls; sprinkle with parsley.

Test Kitchen Tip: If you’re not using the wine, add a tablespoon of red wine vinegar to the sauce when you add the tomatoes.
