1. Cook pasta in boiling water according to package instructions or
until firm to the bite. Drain and place in serving bowl. 2. Pour
boiling water over sun-dried tomatoes. Let soak for 15 minutes.
Drain and chop. 3. In large saucepan combine onions, wine and stock.
Bring to a boil. Add mussels. Cover and simmer for approximately 3
minutes, or until mussels open. Discard any that remain closed.
Remove mussels from shell and reserve. 4. In medium nonstick skillet,
heat oil; saute garlic, red peppers and tomatoes just until peppers
are tender, approximately 4 minutes. Add olives, sundried tomatoes
and reserved mussels. Pour over pasta. Sprinkle with Basil and
pepper, and toss. TIPS. Replace mussels with clams or use a
combination. Buy dry sun-dried tomatoes, not one in oil to reduced
calories and fat. Make ahead>>> Early in the day prepare entire
sauce. Reheat gently, adding some water if sauce appears too thick.
