Mussels in marinara style

In a large pan cook the mussels (I bought a mesh of mussels at the fishmonger's, the ones that come clean, it is better to cook them yourself to use the cooking water for the sauce). Count about 300 ml of water over high heat with the lid on, as soon as the foam comes up and the lid is almost lifted, turn off the heat and they should have already opened.

put them in a bowl together with the cooking water and set aside

In the same casserole/pan, make a sofrito, first sauté the onion and garlic, add the red bell pepper, once it is soft, add the tomato and paprika (correct the salt). (over low heat), leave it for about 2 minutes, and add the white wine and the spoonful of fried tomato, and about 2 glasses of the cooking water previously strained with the strainer.

Remove one of the lids from all the mussels and add them to the casserole, sprinkle the parsley on top, cover the casserole and turn off the heat. Leave it for 5 minutes so that it takes flavor and serve...!
