Het a large skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and heat until the oil is hot.
Add the garlic to the oil and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the white wine and mussels to the skillet, cover, and cook until the mussels are opened, approximately 3 minutes. If not all mussels have opened, remove those that are, and continue cooking, covered, in one minute intervals. If at 6 minutes any mussels have not opened, discard them. Return all mussels to the skillet.
Reduce heat to low. Add the beans, tomatoes, and basil. Cook for 1 minute.

This is enough for two main course servings at around 3/4 pound per person. Can serve up to 6 as an appetizer.Mussels are best served with toasted crostini or bread to soak up all the extra sauce!
