Method

1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente (usually 9–11 minutes). Drain in a colander and set aside.

2

Pat seafood dry with paper towels. Mince garlic.

3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes; sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

4

Add seafood to the skillet and cook 2–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until just cooked through (timing varies by choice: shrimp 2–3 min, scallops 3–4 min, mussels and clams 3–5 min, squid 2–3 min).

5

Pour marinara sauce into the skillet and stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 3–5 minutes until sauce is warm and seafood flavors meld.

6

Add cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss gently with the sauce and seafood until evenly coated. Season with salt and black pepper.

7

Divide among serving bowls. Top with grated Parmesan, fresh parsley, and lemon zest. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
