Spaghetti with Mussels

Remove peel from celery and cut into 1/2 cm cubes. Blanch (scald) tomatoes, rinse, skin, quarter and seed. Finely dice garlic.

In a large shallow saucepan, sauté celery and garlic in hot oil for 2-3 minutes until soft. Extinguish with cognac. Add wine, tomatoes, bay leaf and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Add mussels and cook with lid on for 10 minutes over medium heat.
