I am a beginner cook and made this recently to prove to my boyfriend I can manage in the kitchen...I skipped the mussels and added a few vegetables instead. I also used an olive oil that had a little red pepper in it already, it added just a bit of a kick. It was delicious! We were both very impressed with my cooking skills. :)
