Begin by cleaning the seafood. Rinse the clams and mussels under cold water and scrubbing the shells clean. Remove the beards from the mussels. Set aside.
In a large pot, bring lightly salted water to a boil. Add the scialatielli pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, stirring occasionally. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining the pasta.
While the pasta is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Add the clams and mussels to the skillet, followed by the white wine. Cover with a lid and let them steam for about 5 minutes or until the shells open. Discard any shells that do not open.
Add the shrimp, calamari, red chili flakes, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes until the shrimp are pink and opaque, and the calamari is tender.
Once the seafood is cooked, reduce the heat to low and add the drained scialatielli pasta to the skillet. Toss the pasta with the seafood mixture to coat well.
If the pasta seems dry, add reserved pasta water, a little at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
Finish by stirring in the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon zest, and fresh parsley.
Transfer the pasta to serving plates or a large platter, and enjoy your Low Sodium Scialatielli Frutti di Mare immediately.
