This delectable pasta dish features linguine noodles cooked to al dente perfection and then tossed with a savory sauce made from fresh mussels, garlic, white wine, and tomatoes.

Today, the best versions of Linguine alle Cozze can be found in coastal towns like Positano and Cinque Terre, where the mussels are plump and flavorful. The key to a perfect Linguine alle Cozze lies in using the freshest mussels and allowing them to infuse the sauce with their briny essence.
