Ingredients
- Salt
- to taste
- Black pepper
- to taste
- Fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup, chopped
- Mussels
- 2 pounds, scrubbed and debearded
- Canned diced tomatoes
- 14 ounces
- White wine
- 1/2 cup
- Red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Garlic
- 3 cloves, minced
- Chorizo sausage
- 8 ounces, sliced
- Olive oil

Instructions
- Start by boiling a large pot of salted water and cook the linguine as per the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chorizo and cook until it turns a deep brown, roughly 5 minutes.
- To the skillet, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for another minute until the garlic is aromatic.
- Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits. Add the diced tomatoes and let the mixture simmer to meld the flavors.
- Introduce the mussels to the skillet. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened.
- Remember to discard any mussels that remain closed after cooking - these are not safe to eat.
- Add the cooked linguine into the skillet, tossing well to ensure the pasta is coated with the flavorful sauce.
- Season the dish with salt and black pepper to your taste preference.
- Before serving, garnish with a generous sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy while hot.
