 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. From Rose
