Steps:
- Cook the clams and mussels with 1/2 cup water until cooked. Reserve the liquid. Remove the meat from inside the clams and mussels; discard the shells.
- In boiling salted water, begin cooking the spaghetti. Simultaneously, heat up the extra-virgin olive oil on medium-high heat in a large saute pan. Add the crushed red pepper and shaved garlic and slowly saute. Just when the edges of the garlic become lightly browned, remove the pan from the heat and add a large ladle (approximately 8 ounces) of the pasta cooking water to the saute pan. Put it back on the heat but do not increase the flame.
- When the pasta is three-quarters of the way cooked, remove from the boiling water to the saute pan. Reserve the cooking liquid.
- Continue cooking the spaghetti using the reserved pasta cooking liquid, as needed. Add more clam/mussels liquid to achieve creaminess. Just before the pasta is cooked, add the clams, mussels, squid, and shrimp. Finish cooking the pasta with all the seafood until al dente.
- Remove the seafood pasta from the pan and toss with the sea urchin. Serve immediately.

Pour in the wine (if using) and simmer for 3-5 mins until it reduces by a third. Tip in the tomatoes, burst them with a wooden spoon and bring to a gentle simmer. Season well.

SEAFOOD SPAGHETTI
I made this up from a bunch of recipes that I read - tried to take the best/easiest of them all. I have to say, it turned out great! Very yummy, just like a restaurant. I used thin spaghetti because that's what I had in the pantry, and I think it was the perfect balance to the sauce. I used a sauvignon blanc for the wine - which I thought would be too fruity, but it was just right. You can use whatever shellfish you like - I think it would have been great with some muscles or clams. Just add them when you would add the shrimp.

- Add the butter and swirl.
- Is your pasta done? If so, drain and put into pot to stay warm.

- If you haven't finished cooking your pasta, do that now, drain, and poor the tall the sauce over the pasta and combine.

Tips:
- Use high-quality seafood: Fresh, flavorful seafood is essential for a delicious seafood spaghetti dish. Look for seafood that is firm to the touch and has a mild, briny smell.
- Cook the seafood properly: Overcooked seafood is tough and rubbery. For best results, cook the seafood just until it is opaque and tender. This will usually take only a few minutes.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what brings all the flavors of a seafood spaghetti dish together. A good sauce should be flavorful, yet light enough to allow the delicate flavors of the seafood to shine through.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the seafood, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the seafood from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
- Serve immediately: Seafood spaghetti is best served immediately after it is cooked. The pasta will continue to absorb the sauce and the seafood will become tough if it is allowed to sit for too long.
Conclusion:
Seafood spaghetti is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of different seafood and sauces. With a few simple tips, you can easily create a seafood spaghetti dish that is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy seafood dinner, give seafood spaghetti a try!
