Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside

Prepare the Seafood: While the pasta is cooking, heat half the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and calamari, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until just turning opaque. Remove and set aside.

3

Sauté the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil, garlic, and chili pepper (if using). Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

4

Add Wine and Tomatoes: Pour in the white wine, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Add the diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Season with oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.

5

Cook the Shellfish: Add the clams and mussels to the skillet, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the shells open. Discard any that do not open.

6

Combine: Return the shrimp and calamari to the skillet. Add the cooked pasta, tossing everything together gently, ensuring the pasta is coated in the sauce and the seafood is evenly distributed.

7

Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy the rich flavors of the sea in this hearty dish.
