Turned out really good! I didn't use the spice mix though and I added a tad bit of red pepper flakes. Was really lovely with the beer. I usually use wine, but this worked great. Great flavor!! I served this at an italian dinner party and they were all scarfed up!

This recipe is VERY easy to follow and taste extremely good. Three of us finished it off quickly. I over-bought( 8 lbs worth mussels for three people. I recommend 6 lbs of mussels for 3 people. Usually the market sells it by a 2lb bag. I cooked with the recommended ingredients with 8 lbs and an extra two bottles of Hoegarden beer. I threw the fresh tomatoes and basil at the last 5 mins of the cooking. I also tried canned tomatoes, definitely go with the fresh tomatoes. Add alot of tomatoes, it tastes really good!! I couldn't find the pasta seasoning mix so I went with Mc Cormick's all purpose seasoning. Delicioso!! 5 STARS!!
