Add a large serving of mussels and broth to the bowls of the purists and serve with plenty of warm French bread on the side along with lots of softened butter. Plugra or Kerrygold is great, but any butter will do. Put pasta in the bowls of the pasta-insisters and add a small portion of mussels and broth on top. They’ll probably want Parmesan and won’t be too picky about the type.
Mussel person here and mic drop PP. (PS what is "creamy" white sauce?)


Haven't tried the recipe but it's basically like this: https://damndelicious.net/2021/02/15/garlic-butter-clams-with-white-wine-cream-sauce/

And without the cream is just a white wine garlic sauce

Wow what’s it like to be you when you can’t even write a recipe recommendation without being condescending?

It feels just fine to be me, and I think my post included information the OP may find helpful. I cook all the meals for my family and often host friends and extended family as well. I have learned that there is a contingent (including my DH) who think mussels, clams, and scallops should always be served with pasta, and this subset tends to think all pasta should be served with Parmesan. I serve people according to their preferences and get no complaints.

Red is fine

But I’d do olive oil, garlic, parsley and white wine. Good bread!

It’s blasphemy but I’d also top with parm.


This but I’d add some diced tomatoes too

Mussels with pasta and creamy white sauce or tomato sauce? Tonight if that matters
