3 minutes. Add mussel cooking liquid; simmer until shellfish are cooked
through, about 3 minutes. Add vegetables; stir to heat through.

Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just
tender but still firm, to bite. Drain. Pour vegetables and shellfish over
pasta; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup
basil. Top with mussels and breadcrumbs.

Betsy's notes: Made on 3/13/98; added some cayenne pepper with the salt and
pepper. Served with Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top with the breadcrumbs.
