MUSSELS IN A LEMON, GARLIC, AND WHITE WINE SAUCE
I created this in an effort to emulate a dish we liked at a local Italian restaraunt. I think it's pretty similar, but would have to eat the restaraunt version again to be sure! Either way, my boyfriend loved it...he rated it an enthusiastic A-Plus!! I live nowhere near an ocean, so this recipe calls for frozen mussels...I couldn't even begin to tell you how to modify the recipe using fresh mussels.

Steps:
- Saute the garlic in the olive oil and margarine over medium heat.
- Stir in the wine, lemon juice, tomatoes, parsley, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper, and liqueur from the mussels (keep mussels warm).
- Bring to a simmer. Let simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle cornstarch over top and stir in with a whisk. Stir vigorously enough to also break up the tomatoes.
- Return to a simmer and stir frequently, until sauce has thickened a little (will still be fairly thin).
- Add mussels, cover, and let simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Serve over noodles.
