Linguine In Tomato-Mussel Sauce
1 cup dry white wine
4 sprigs fresh parsley, plus
1/2 cup coarsely chopped leaves
4 sprigs fresh basil, plus
1/2 cup coarsely chopped leaves
4 lb large mussels, debearded -well washed
1 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper, or to taste
3 large vine-ripened tomatoes, peeled, up to 4 -seeded and chopped -3 cups
1/2 tsp salt -plus more to taste
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper -plus more to taste
1 lb dried linguine or fettuccine
1. In a large pot, combine wine and parsley and basil sprigs. Bring to a
boil over high heat.
2. Add mussels, cover and steam for 2 minutes, shaking the pot
occasionally. Begin checking mussels; as they open, transfer them to a
large bowl. Total steaming time will be about 5 minutes. Discard any
unopened mussels.
3. Strain mussel broth through a fine sieve lined with cheesecloth; measure
our 1 1/2 cups and set aside. (Freeze any remaining broth for another
use.) When cool enough to handle, pick mussels from their shells.
Refrigerate, discarding shells.
4. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for cooking pasta.
5. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, combine oil, garlic and crushed red
pepper. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until garlic is
fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon
pepper and reserved broth. Increase heat to medium. Cook, stirring
occasionally, until tomatoes form a thick sauce, 20 to 25 minutes.
6. Shortly before sauce has finished cooking, add reserved mussels and cook
just until heated through. Cook pasta until al dente, about 8 minutes.
Drain pasta and place in a large bowl. Add sauce, remaining 1/2 cup each of
parsley and basil, and toss. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve
immediately.
Makes about 8 cups, for 4 servings.

Weight loss hints and tips
If you wish to become thin and also develop your all round shape, then you need to undertake a specially planned wholesome daily routine. If possible, this must contain 5 helpings of fruit/vegetables per day and contain an appropriate combination of protein, carbs and fats.
When planning a daily routine, you have to make sure you decrease your intake of fats, refined carbohydrate and salt.
At the start of a diet, people far too often direct your attention to supermarket and brand name food items known as 'low in fat'. This is most certainly an error, for a food may well be very low in fat content, but whilst still remaining far too high in carbs.
Keep yourself hydrated. Every now and then in the course of a busy day, you consider that you need a meal but in reality you might simply need a restorative cup of water or cranberry juice. The feelings of hunger and needing a drink are somewhat similar, but one of them can result in weight increase and the other does not.
Rather than concentrating on the many types of food you should remove from your weight loss program, direct your attention to the "good" foods which you are able to add to your diet. If you bring in the recommended amount nourishing grains, cereals and vegetables into your diet, you will be delighted to find that you feel more full and have a much lower probability of giving in to those damaging midday nibbles.
