Linguine with mussels
Item 1 of 1
This robust mussel linguine recipe from Shaun Rankin is redolent of the Mediterranean, cleverly balancing the rich chorizo sausage and the saline seafood with a fresh tasting herbal sauce. When cleaning the mussels, take care to ensure that all shells are closed after de-bearding.
