   Simmer Mussels in Marinara

   First, make sure your mussels are thoroughly washed and scrubbed. In a large saucepan, combine the canned tomatoes, wine, basil, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then add the cleaned mussels.

   Cover the saucepan and let it simmer for 6 to 8 minutes, or until all the mussels have opened. Once they've opened, remove the cover and continue to simmer for another 2 minutes to let the sauce reduce slightly.

   Serve

   Serve the mussels hot, straight from the pan. They pair well with garlic bread and a glass of wine, or even a light lager or dark amber beer.
