Add the red pepper flakes, proscuitto and sausage meat, cooking just until meat loses its red color. Add the tomatoes and bay leaf, mix well and allow to simmer for 5 minutes. Add the wine, allow the mixture to come to a boil, add the mussels and parsley, covering the pot and cooking just until the mussels open, being careful not to overcook.

Serve this in a deep rim soup plate, placing a slice of Italian bread in the bottom, spooning the mussels, sausage and broth over the top. Serve immediately.
