INGREDIENTS

1 bag Canadian Cove Mussels (2 lbs.)
2 tsp. tarragon
1/2 cup white onion, chopped
2 Tbs. olive oil
1/2 cup prosciutto, chopped
Dash of nutmeg
2 cloves garlic, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups light cream

DIRECTIONS
Steam mussels in 1 inch of water, 2 Tbs. olive oil, 1 tsp. chopped garlic, and 1 tsp. tarragon until opened. Drain and remove mussels from shells. Cover immediately so mussels will remain moist. In sauté pan, cook onions in olive oil until soft. Add 1 Tbs. chopped garlic and 1/2 cup chopped prosciutto; stir. Add 2 cups light cream, 1 tsp. tarragon, dash of nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste. Heat on high until it reaches a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in mussels. Serve immediately over linguine or your favorite cooked pasta.

Mussel shells have been used throughout the centuries to make jewelry, art, utensils, cement, garden pathways and mulch.
