Yum! I prepared this as appetizer on New Years eve for my hubby and me. Once we got past the "duh" moment of suffocating the mussels by keeping them in a plastic bag all day all was tasty. It turns out that the mussels will open if kept in a closed plastic bag because they need to breathe. I called the seafood guys at Central Market here in Austin about all the open mussels and they told me to bring them back. Even though it was my fault they were so gracious and gave me another sack. Yay! And this recipe made them that much better. Easy, fast and so tasty. It will be my "go to" mussel recipe from now on.

Made mussels for the first time last night and this was fantastic! I leveraged between this recipe and Emiril Lagasse's 'Linguine with Seafood'. I skipped the saffron, since I did not have it. Not sure if it took away any of the flavor, but this turned out spectacular!

Most excellent. The saffron was difficult to find but added so much to the flavor. Wonderful dish. We served it over spaghetti. Very nice.

We bought the mussels from Costco. They are from Prince Edward Island and already had the beards removed. Put 1/3 c. flour onto the garlic/shallot after it was done. Added the red pepper flakes. Let it cook down. Doubled the amount of wine. Added two cups of pasta water as the mussels were cooking. Have a lot of bread.

First time making mussels, and it was easy and delicious. I did cut the salt by 1/2 teaspoon and added some red pepper flakes. Only had to steam the mussels for 8 minutes. Super easy and the broth was outstanding.

Added a little bit of crushed red pepper flakes to the recipe for a little kick and it was awesome! It brought just the right fire and flavor to the dish. My wife's not a big mussels fan but this dish could change her mind. We used pre-cooked mussels and dried herbs, and red onions instead of shallots (what we had at home and it still was delicious. Pinot grigio worked wonderfully. ....Thanks to Ina Garten again. She never disappoints.

I'm a first time mussels cook and this recipe was so easy and so delicious and literally the best mussels I've ever had (not to toot my own horn. I didn't do the saffron/tomatoes BUT the recipe without it is amazing. Try this. Savory, delicious, easy, and refreshing. Serve with a loaf of bread.
My mussels took 8 minutes and I made sure there were plenty of shallots in the pot. I've never had a miss with an Ina Garten recipe- thanks so much!

This is a really great recipe! Unlike the other reviews, I thought the salt amount was fine for the dish. One thing I would cut back on would be the shallots. There just seemed to be too many for my liking. For wine we used a $12 bottle of Chardonnay and it was fine. A modification we have tried is adding one cup of homemade marinara sauce and a 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper. It adds a delicious element of heat to the dish.
