Directions:

  1. Prep the seafood
    Clean mussels and clams well. Rinse shrimp and squid under cold water.

    Bring salted water to a boil and cook spaghetti until al dente. Save ½ cup of pasta water.

  3. Sauté the aromatics
    In a large skillet, heat olive oil and sauté garlic (and chili if using) until golden and fragrant.

  4. Cook the seafood
    Add clams and mussels, pour in the white wine, and cover until shells open. Add shrimp and squid, cooking until just tender.

  5. Bring it all together
    Toss spaghetti in the skillet with seafood, adding reserved pasta water if needed. For an ultra food porn touch, stir in a knob of butter to make the sauce glossy.

  6. Serve hot & steamy
    Plate the pasta with seafood piled high, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with parsley, and crack fresh black pepper on top. Snap the food porn shot, then dig in! 🍷🍝
