Ingredients

• 400 g spaghetti
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 tsp red chili flakes
• 250 g cherry tomatoes, halved
• 200 ml white wine
• 300 g clams, fresh and cleaned
• 300 g mussels, fresh and cleaned
• 200 g shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 200 g squid, cleaned and sliced into rings
• 2 tbsp parsley, chopped
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 4 L water
• 2 tbsp sea salt (for pasta water)

Directions

Step 1

Bring 4 liters of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 2 tablespoons of sea salt once boiling and cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, deep skillet or wide pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and red chili flakes to the pan, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.

Step 4

Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and release their juices.

Step 5

Pour in the white wine and simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced slightly.

Step 6

Add the clams and mussels to the pan, cover with a lid, and cook for 5 minutes or until the shells open. Discard any that remain closed.

Step 7

Add the shrimp and squid to the pan, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until the shrimp are pink and the squid is tender.

Step 8

Season the sauce with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir in the chopped parsley.

Step 9

Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet, tossing carefully to coat in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add some of the reserved pasta water, a little at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency.

Step 10

Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
