3/4 pound pasta
4 tbsp olive oil extra virgin

4 pounds mussels
2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
3 tbsp parsley chopped
1 tsp red pepper flakes

Place a pot of water on the stovetop and bring the water to boil. Add salt only when the water boils.
In a pot, heat some EVOO, when the oil shimmers add 5 cloves of garlic, the red pepper flakes and the mussels, and let them open. Discard those mussels that are not opening as they are not suitable to eat. Turn the heat on low. Remove the mussels and keep them aside.
