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.
