Chop the garlic, onion, and long pepper finely and sauté in olive oil until lightly colored. Deglaze with the white wine, let it reduce a bit, cut the tomatoes in half and add them, season with pepper and salt, cover and let simmer for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, rinse the mussels, remove any that are broken or remain open. Cook the pappardelle as indicated on the package. Remove the lid from the sauce, taste to see if you need to adjust the seasoning, and let it simmer further so that the sauce thickens nicely, as the mussels will also release a lot of delicious moisture while cooking. Once nicely thickened, add the mussels, stir well so they are nicely coated in the sauce, and cover, letting them cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until they open.
Drain the pasta and toss it with the mussels, finishing with chopped parsley.
