Finely chop the garlic, onion, and long pepper and sauté in olive oil until slightly colored. Deglaze with the white wine, let it evaporate a bit, cut the tomatoes in half and add them, season with pepper and salt, cover with a lid 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 if you need to season further and let it simmer so 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 with a lid, let cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until they are open.
Drain the pasta and toss it with the mussels, finish with chopped parsley.
