Recipe

Preparation Time: 25 mins Cook Time: 35 mins Ready Time: 1 hr


• fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. once the water is boiling, stir in the linguine, and return to a boil. cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. drain well in a colander set in the sink.
• heat a large skillet covered with about 1/4-inch of olive oil over low heat. add garlic, 1 teaspoon italian seasoning, and anchovies; cook and stir until the anchovies melt into the oil, 7 to 10 minutes. stir in the crushed tomatoes; increase the heat to medium, and bring to a simmer. stir in the clams. once they begin to open, arrange the shrimp in a single layer and allow to simmer. flip the shrimp when they become pink on one side, about 2 minutes, then drop in the scallops and squid. continue cooking until the shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, about 2 more minutes. season with salt, pepper, and remaining 1 teaspoon italian seasoning.
• toss the cooked pasta into the sauce. garnish with a lemon wedge, manchego cheese, and basil before serving.
