Fra diavolo means brother devil in Italian and refers to a spicy, tomato-based sauce. Here we use store-bought marinara that's jazzed up with fresh fennel, crushed red pepper, and garlic. Ingredients:
8 ounces uncooked linguine |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 cup chopped fennel bulb |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
2 tablespoons minced garlic |
3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper |
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt |
1 cup lower-sodium marinara sauce |
1 1/2 pounds mussels, scrubbed and debearded (about 40) |
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain pasta in a colander over a bowl, reserving 3/4 cup pasta water.
2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add fennel and onion to pan; sauté 3 minutes. Add garlic, pepper, and salt; sauté 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add reserved pasta water and marinara to pan; cook 1 minute. Add mussels; cover and cook 3 minutes or until shells open. Discard any unopened shells. Place 1 cup pasta in each of 4 shallow bowls. Top each serving with about 1 1/2 cups mussels mixture. Sprinkle evenly with parsley.
