Ingredients

• 8 Ounces (oz) linguine pasta
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) olive oil, divided
• 3 Cloves garlic, minced
• 14.5 Ounces (oz) can crushed tomatoes
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) dried oregano
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) dried basil
• 0.25 Teaspoons (tsp) crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 Pound (lb) mussels, cleaned
• 0.5 Cups white wine
• 1 Medium lemon
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) fresh flat-leaf parsley, minced
• 1 Small shallot, minced
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) kosher salt
• 0.25 Teaspoons (tsp) black pepper

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/4 cup of pasta water.
2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced shallot and sauté until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
4. Add the crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer on low heat for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
5. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the mussels to the skillet. Cover and cook until the mussel shells open, about 5 to 7 minutes. Discard any mussels that do not open.
6. Add the cooked linguine and reserved pasta water to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta in the sauce. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil for added richness.
7. Squeeze lemon wedges over the dish and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately with additional lemon wedges on the side.

Enjoy this delightful dish with a side of crusty French bread and a glass of chilled white wine for a complete dining experience.
