very, very close to the actuall recipe. However, do not add the lemon butter sauce until the mussles are done, simply toss them in it at the end, otherwise, the sauce will break.

My husband called it "Money" and was after dips in the sauce with bread before I could even serve this! It was a wonderful addition to the menu and was met with rave reviews from all! I highly recommend this recipe, though I substituted pesto for the fresh basil. The pesto allowed for greater color and infusion of the seasonings. This will be a regular feature. Paired with drunken pasta, it was ideal.

Come close???? I couldn't tell the difference between this and the restaurant, in fact at the restaurant I had to send these back a couple of times because I thought they undercooked them....at home they come out perfect every time!!! Thanks!!

I liked this but I don't think that the cooking time was long enough. Only about a third of the mussels (and they were all alive!) opened after the cooking time. Then I turned up the heat for about 5 minutes and they all opened. Made for Spring PAC 2009. Thanks!

I tried this recipe today and it is absolutely fantastic! Just like Carrabba's.

These were incredibly good. Loved the hint of licorice and the lemon butter sauce was sinful.

Every time I visit Carrabba's I get the Cozze Bianco. Since I love it so much I decided to try it at home and it tasted just like the mussels from Carrabba's. I’m not an experienced cooker and in fact I have just recently started to cook. The recipe was very easy to follow and easy to make. The only hard part is cleaning the mussels. It took a while to clean them which means my mussels were in cold water for way more than 8 minutes. I found that this was not an issue but I had also bought them fresh that day. My only other suggestion is to do double or triple the sauce. With what is stated it is hard to get enough for a ¾ cup. I made this recipe with a pound and half of mussels which is just right for two people. This also goes great with the Carrabba’s bread dip and with some addition of a nice white wine this makes a nice romantic dinner for two.
