Cozze en Bianco

This tasty Italian seafood recipe comes to us by Kristal McKanders from Nashville, TN. People say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Well, women love to eat too! A great way for men to show appreciation for their significant others is by learning to cook their partners’ favorite meal.

Country music artist Vince Gill recently teamed up with Johnny Carrabba, founder of Carrabba’s Italian Grill, to learn to do just that for his wife Amy Grant. Johnny taught Vince how to make Amy’s favorite dish and popular menu item, Mussels in White Wine Sauce, in front of a small audience at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville as part of a fund raiser for a Nashville homeless shelter. Thanks Kristal!

Enjoy!
