Instructions

In a large skillet, sauté the garlic in the olive oil for about 1 minute, or until pale golden.
Add the pureed tomato sauce and cook on medium heat for an additional 2 minutes.
Turn off the heat and set aside.
Put the mussels in a large pot with the white wine, cover with a lid, and put on high heat to open up and release their water.
When they open, remove the mussels from the liquid and filter the mussel’s liquid through a sieve.
Transfer the filtered liquid into the tomato sauce and add the mussels.
Add the parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook, stirring occasionally.
One minute before the pasta is al dente, turn on the heat under the mussels to medium-high.
Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water. Add the pasta to the mussels and stir to coat.
Add some of the reserved water if necessary.
Serve Immediately.
