Mussels in White Wine Sauce

Weight is a big issue for Americans. There are comments that say that half of Americans are obese and the other half are vomiting their stomach contents in the toilet bowl.

If you are conscious about your weight then try cooking some low-fat foods rather than puking your way to anorexia or bulimia.

Seafoods are the best source of meat if you don't want to get fat. They are low in calories and and taste good, too. Try this simple mussel recipe for the weight watcher in you.

You need:
2 lbs of uncooked mussels, a cup of Chardonnay wine, 6 smashed cloves or garlic, 1 thinly sliced onion, 2 teaspoons of olive oil, 2 finely chopped tablespoons of parsley, a teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes and a pound of pasta for spaghetti.

You must:
Cook the pasta by boiling water first. While waiting for the water to boil, prepare the mussels by cleaning them through cold water. Don't forget to remove all the beards.

Saute the garlic and onions in oil. Add wine then wait for it to boil.

Check on your boiling water and put the pasta. Let the pasta cook.

When the wine boils, lower the stove heat to medium for simmering. Add the mussels and wait till the shells open.

After your pasta has been cooked, set it up on a plate and pour the cooked mussel and wine concoction in the pasta. Garnish with a little bit of parsley.

This recipe will only take about 30 minutes including preparation. It can be served for 4 people. Make sure you feed it to at least four people. Too much of any food can still make you gain weight.

Enjoy eating!
