If you love Muscles and you love Pasta, then you will most likely love this recipe! I had found this recipe some time back and use it whenever I am having a hankering for shellfish! I love the flavor combination of this recipe.

- 2Remove the skillet from heat, and discard any unopened shells. Let mussels cool. Reserve 10 shells with meat intact. Remove the meat from remaining shells, and add meat to tomato mixture; discard shells.
