Mussels in a white wine reduction with pesto sauce

- Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients
2 lbs mussels (net 12 oz meat) - scrubbed1 cup dry white wine1 small jar pesto (3.5-4oz)
If the mussels are not scrubbed by the store (you can ask the seafood counter if they are scrubbed - Whole Foods typically scrubs theirs), you will need to scrub them to reduce the amount of sand that is cooked into the meat. Trust me that you WANT to do this :)
Bring white wine to a boil on the stove, lower heat, add mussels, and cover. Steam for 3-4 minutes until the mussels open. Once open, remove from heat and mix pesto sauce into cooking liquid (will need to either pour cooking liquid into separate bowl or remove mussels to do so!). Re-combine with mussels and serve.
Makes 4 servings (0.5lb with shells, 3oz without)
Number of Servings: 4
