Cooking mussels may seem intimidating, but here we’ve made it quick and easy.

We’ve added white beans to turn this classic mussels-in-white-wine-sauce dish into a heartier weeknight meal.

Serve with whole-grain crusty bread to sop up the flavorful broth.

Stir in garlic, thyme and crushed red pepper; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add beans and stir to combine.

Place mussels on top and pour in wine.

Cover and cook until the mussels open (discard any unopened mussels), 5 to 6 minutes.

Serve with lemon wedges and garnish with more thyme, if desired.

Discard any mussels with broken shells or any shells that remain open after you tap them lightly.
