3 pounds mussels, well washed
Salt
freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound rigatoni or other cut pasta
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, more for drizzling
2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes, or to taste
1 cup cooked cannellini or borlotti beans, drained
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1 cup chopped fresh parsley

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 chili 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.
