Ingredients

• 400 grams Spaghetti
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 300 grams Cherry tomatoes
• 150 milliliters Dry white wine
• 200 grams Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 200 grams Mussels, cleaned
• 200 grams Clams, cleaned
• 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente according to the package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Finely chop the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet. Sauté the garlic until fragrant but not browned, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften and release their juices.

Step 5

Pour in the dry white wine and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 6

Add the shrimp, mussels, and clams to the skillet. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes until the mussels and clams open and the shrimp turn pink. Discard any mussels or clams that do not open.

Step 7

Sprinkle in the red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine the seafood and sauce.

Step 8

Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet, tossing well to coat with the sauce and seafood. If needed, add some reserved pasta cooking water to achieve the desired consistency.

Step 9

Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the pasta, and toss again to distribute evenly.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnishing with extra parsley if desired.
