Wash the mussels in plenty of fresh clean water.  Discard any with cracked shells.  Tap any that are open and see if they close.  Discard any that do not.  Load the pasta, evoo, butter, salt, pepper, vermouth & water into the bag.  Fold down the top and microwave for 3 mins.  Open the bag carefully, being mindful of the steam.  Fluff the pasta w/ two forks. Add in the shallots, mussels, optional chili peppers & lemon zest.  Close the bag and microwave for 4 to 5 more mins.  Pour out onto a serving dish & garnish w/ fresh herbs & lemon wedges.  If you grow your own herbs or visit farmers markets, garnish w/ fresh basil blossoms or other fragrant petals.
