Ingredients
3 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 whole Onion (chopped)
4 cloves Garlic (crushed)
2 whole Anchovy Fillets
1 tablespoon Tomato Paste
48 ounces Crushed Tomatoes (canned)
2 cups Tomato Sauce
1 cup Parsley (chopped)
1⁄4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
3⁄4 cups White Wine
10 cups Water
1⁄2 pound Clams (scrubbed)
1⁄2 pound Mussels (scrubbed and debearded)
1⁄2 pound Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
1⁄2 pound Scallops
12 ounces Linguine
2 teaspoons Salt (plus 1 tablespoon)
  dash Ground Black Pepper

Directions
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and stir for 5 to 8 minutes until the onions are translucent. Season the onions and garlic with salt and pepper.
  2. Add the anchovies and the tomato paste and cook for about 2 minutes, breaking up the anchovies with a spoon. Stir in the tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, ¼ cup parsley, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 2 teaspoons salt, Italian seasoning, and white wine. Bring the contents of the saucepan to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
  3. Meanwhile, bring the water to a boil in a separate stockpot over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon salt then the linguine to the boiling water and cook it until it is barely al dente, about 6 minutes. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1 cup of the pasta water.
  4. Add the clams to the saucepan and cook them until they open, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the clams to a large bowl, discarding any that did not open. Add the mussels to the saucepan and cook them for about 3 to 5 minutes, until they open. Transfer the cooked mussels to the bowl with the clams, again discarding any that did not open.
  5. Bring the sauce back to a boil, then add the shrimp and scallops and cover the pan. Remove the pan from heat and let it sit for 5 to 8 minutes until the shrimp and scallops are just about cooked through.
  6. Return the pasta sauce to the stovetop and bring it to a boil. Add the cooked pasta and 1/4 cup of reserved pasta water to the pan, and simmer for about 2 minutes until the sauce thickens. Add more water as needed.
  7. Season the dish with salt, ground pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. Transfer the pasta mixture to a large bowl. Arrange the cooked clams and mussels over the pasta and garnish with the remaining fresh parsley.
