1Cook the spaghetti in salted water until 2 minutes under al dente.

2Sauté the onion and garlic in olive oil, 5 minutes.

3Add the wine and reduce, then the tomatoes and chili; simmer 10 minutes.

4Add the clams and mussels, cover and steam until they open, 5 minutes.

5Add the shrimp and the drained pasta with a ladle of pasta water.

6Toss 2 minutes so the pasta finishes in the sauce.

7Stir in the cilantro and serve immediately.

Chef's Tip

Undercooking the pasta and finishing it in the sauce: the noodles drink the seafood broth instead of water.

More tips ↓

Shellfish steams open in the sauce — their juice is the seasoning, no stock needed.
Cilantro goes in off the heat: boiled cilantro turns grassy.
