Cozze Alla Marinara

Cozze alla Marinara is a classic Italian dish made with fresh mussels cooked in a flavorful tomato and white wine sauce.

Ingredients - Serves 4

Clean the mussels by scrubbing them under cold water and removing any beards or debris.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the diced tomatoes, white wine, chopped parsley, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Add the cleaned mussels to the pot and cover with a lid. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened.
Discard any mussels that did not open.
Serve the Cozze alla Marinara in bowls, with the sauce and mussels. Serve with crusty bread for dipping.
