Servings: persons

3 cloves garlic, sliced
olive oil
4 pounds mussels, scrubbed
1/2 cup cooked small white beans like cicerchie or cannelini, optional
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 pound squid ink pasta, preferably Felcetti brand
salt
1 small fresh red chili pepper, thinly sliced to taste, or red pepper flakes
1/2 bunch fresh parsley

1
Over medium heat, in a large frying pan, cook the garlic in 3 tablespoons of oil until aromatic.
2
Add the mussels, cooked beans if using, wine and tomatoes, and cover.
3
Cook until the shells open, about 5 minutes, then remove almost all the mussels from their shells, leaving a few in the shell for garnish.
4
Discard the shells and put the mussels back into the sauce.
5
To serve the pasta laid out straight, bring about 3 inches of salted water to a boil in two separate frying pans, each wide enough to hold the pasta horizontally.
6
Divide the pasta between the pans and cook until al dente, then, using two tongs or a wide spatula, remove the pasta from the pans and, keeping the spaghetti straight, lay it out onto a serving platter.
7
(Alternatively, you can cook the pasta in a tall pot of boiling water, and serve it in the conventional way.)
8
Top with sauce and reserved mussels in shells.
9
Season with salt and red chili peppers.
10
Serve topped with chopped parsley.
