MUSSELS ALLA MARINARA
I love mussels, have eaten them in several restaurants in different states and countries. I would like to share this particular recipe because after many attempts, this is one I believe to be closer to those I preferred.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a frying pan, add the veggies and cook at medium for about 5 minutes. Don't let them take too much color.
- Add wine, bay leaf, thyme, salt, pepper, diced tomatoes, and tomatoes paste; bring to a boil and let cook another 5 minutes.
- (All this could be prepared ahead of time and brought back to a boil at meal time).
- Clean the mussels.
- Those you find open knock it against another.
- If it does not close by itself discard it--it's dead.
- Same with those that didn't open after cooking.
- Now add the mussels to the boiling sauce; cover and cook 4 minutes.
- Serve 12 mussels per person.
- Pour sauce over it. Sprinkle parsley. (Serve with good French or Italian bread). Better if you warm your plates ahead of time in oven 180°F.
- Don't forget an empty dish at the center of table for the discarded shells.
