Like an Italian dinner party on your plate! 🤩😏🤤 3 courses in one! So colorful & flavorful, how could I resist! I did not begin to eat #seafood until my late 20s so I am still trying new foods & combinations! I wanted to try lobster ravioli and I also wanted to cook my own mussels! (😆- I'd only attempted this once before and it only consisted of me boiling them in water!) These turned out delicious and this dinner was filling!👏👌👍 Paired with some garlic bread & a glass of wine it was perfect for an at home "date night." 🥰😉😎😍

*Please Note- "Historically, it has been believed that after cooking all the mussels should have opened and those that have not are not safe to eat and should be discarded. However, according to marine biologist Nick Ruello, this advice may have arisen from an old, poorly researched cookbook's advice, which has now become an assumed truism for all shellfish. Ruello found 11.5% of all mussels failed to open during cooking, but when forced open, 100% were "both adequately cooked and safe to eat."

This looks so good!! I recognize the lobster ravioli!! I just bought some at Trader Joe’s. SO GOOD! My 3 year old loves them. We also love mussels, but I’ve never been brave enough to cook them myself. Great recipe!
