Lovely. I actually made a couple of changes, but they worked well. Tomatoes are pretty mealy and flavorless this time of year so I omitted them and added a Tablespoon of Ajvar (a spicy red pepper sauce). Instead of bread (which we have a little trouble controlling ourselves with, I tossed the sauce with just a little angel hair pasta. Next time I might cut back on the cream just a little, because I think you can, and replace it with wine or broth. Oh and I started with a little shallots along with the garlic too, because I had it. This really was lovely and I served it with a green salad and the rest of the white wine.

    This sauce was fantastic. I've never cooked with mussels, so I used shrimp and scallops instead, and served it over pasta.

    These are DELICIOUS! We ate them as a meal with crusty French Bread to dip in the sauce. My Dad wanted to DRINK the sauce, but instead I talked him in to using a soup spoon. I will make this meal again very soon!

    Wonderful! I had some leftover riesling so I used it instead of a drier wine. I did overdo the salt, I think I will probably only use a pinch next time. My daughter is not a seafood lover like me, but she absolutely LOVED this delicious dish. Thanks!

    A great way to do mussels, DH and I devoured these for dinner, served with a crusty baguette and a light green salad on the side. A keeper for us!

    This recipe was good, but I thought that the wine/cream ratio was off and maybe should have been the other way around. The sauce was not as creamy as I had anticipated! I will go back to my garlic, onion, cream and saffron sauce.
