Ingredients:

1

Salt

230 g

Rigatoni

Directions:

1

Put mussels in a large pot with a lid

2

Cover, turn heat to medium-high and when you hear the mussel liquid boiling, reduce heat to maintain a steady bubble; you will hear it and see steam escaping

3

Shake pot now and then; when mussels open, remove them

4

Let cool slightly and shuck, reserving cooking liquid

5

When liquid has cooled, strain it

6

Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil, cook pasta until not quite done (figure about 2 minutes short of where you would usually cook it), drain and set aside

7

Put oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add garlic and chile flakes and cook for about 1 minute

8

Add beans, wine, pasta, and mussels; reduce heat to medium-low and stir to combine

9

Add as much reserved mussel liquid as mixture can accommodate without becoming too soupy

10

Cook, stirring gently, until pasta is fully cooked and everything is warmed through; add more liquid if you like

11

Adjust seasoning as needed, drizzle with a bit more olive oil if you like, sprinkle with parsley and serve
