How to Make Mussels In Green Sauce

  1. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, sauté 4 cloves minced garlic and 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley in 1/4 cup olive oil over medium-high heat until the garlic is lightly golden brown (about 2 minutes).
  2. Add 1 cup dry white wine and 2 pounds mussels, scrubbed and debearded. Cover the pot and steam until all the mussels have opened, about 5-7 minutes. Discard any mussels that do not open.
  3. Remove the mussels from the pot and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to form a slurry.
  4. Add the cornstarch slurry to the cooking liquid and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened slightly (about 1 minute).
  5. Return the mussels to the sauce, ensuring they are well coated.
  6. Serve the mussels and sauce immediately over cooked fettuccine noodles. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and serve with crusty garlic bread.
