Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the scialatielli pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of the pasta water.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the oil, sautéing until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes until they start to soften and release their juices.
Add the vegan shrimp and vegan calamari to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the white wine and allow it to reduce for about 3 minutes.
Add the vegetable broth, a dash of the reserved pasta water, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well and let simmer for 5 minutes.
Finely chop the parsley and add it to the skillet along with the lemon zest. Mix well.
Add the cooked scialatielli pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together to ensure the pasta is well coated with the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit more reserved pasta water.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
