Linguine with Mussels. Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Put the mussels to soak in a sinkful of cold water - using a knife to scrape off any bits of beard or barnacle that cling to the shells - while you heat the water for the pasta. When the water comes to the boil, add salt and then, when boiling again, the linguine.
Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
