Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt in a large pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Add linguine to the pot of boiling water. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min. Drain and return linguine to same pot.
While linguine cooks, peel, then cut the onion into 1/2-inch pieces. Core, then cut the pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Roughly chop the basil. Peel, then mince or grate the garlic. Using a strainer, drain the mussels over a large bowl, reserving the liquid. Remove and discard any broken or closed mussels.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil, then the onions and peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp, 3-4 min. Add Italian seasoning, garlic and tomato sauce. Cook, stirring often until fragrant, 1-2 min.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Add diced tomatoes and 1 cup of the reserved mussel liquid to the same pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced, 4-5 min. Pour the sauce from the pan to the pot with the linguine. Toss to combine. Add mussels. Cover and cook until heated through, 2-3 min.** Season with salt and pepper.
Divide linguine and mussels between bowls. Sprinkle over basil.
