  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.

  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.
