This was in this mornings newspaper, i haven't tried it yet but it sure looks scrumptious!!

Discard mussels which remain open during handling.

In a large saucepan combine olive oil , red pepper , garlic , shallots and pancetta.

Immediately add cream and parsley to the broth and simmer to reduce slightly.
