If you love mussels the way I do.. you will love this recipe!!! I am also a NJ Italian and this recipe will be my go to for mussels in red sauce. I made the Fra Diavolo version of this recipe and made it almost to the tee! I made the red sauce that was also included in this recipe and it was fantastic! Do let the carrots and onion come to a nice golden brown to properly caramelize for maximum flavor. I only used 1.5 lbs so the cooking time was less. I did not cut back on the rest of the ingredients because I like a lot of sauce. EXCELLENT!

I make this dish at least 3 times a month... I absolutely love it!. It takes quite a while to complete but is well worth it.. its cool cause you can freeze the red sauce and it can be used for another batch of the diavolo sauce for another time. i like to mix in other seafood like shrimp to this recipe. It's soooo good.

I did this recipe with 2 lbs. of Prince Edward Island mussels- I made the Fra Diavolo sauce using my favorite marinara as a base- I cut the olive oil by about half to lighten it up and tossed the parsely into the sauce right at the end. It makes a thin sauce, so I served the mussels in a large pasta bowl over cappelini, which helped to soak up the sauce. Don't be afraid to sprinkle some romano over it.

The spicy red sauce was fantastic; I'd recommend it to anyone who likes a spicy hot Fra Diavlo. BUT, I started with Emeril's basic red sauce and Wow! I've been making red sauce (gravy for 40 years. Got the recipe from a friend who had emigrated from Naples, Italy, and it's been a faithful and reliable standby ever since. Emeril's red sauce, however, is the best -- by far -- that I have ever tasted, and I will use it forever. Thank you!
