Instructions
Fill a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the 1 lb fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions until it reaches an al dente texture (firm to the bite). Drain, rinse under cool tap water, and set aside.
Heat a large, deep skillet with the 2 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat until the oil just begins to shimmer. Add the ½ tablespoon garlic and saute for 1 minute then stir in the 1 lb mussels and 1 lb steamer clams until well coated.
Increase heat to medium-high then add the ⅓ cup dry white wine and cover the pan to steam the mussels and clams. Cook with the lid on for about 2-3 minutes, or until the mussels and clams have opened.
Uncover the skillet, add the ½ lb shrimp and toss with the seafood. Cover and continue to steam for an additional 2 minutes or until the shrimp begins curling up, turning pink and opaque.
Once more remove the lid and add the final portions of seafood (¼ lb squid and ¼ lb bay scallops). Cover and cook until the squid tentacles curl up and the scallops are no longer transparent, or about 1 minute.
Pour in the 32 oz arrabbiata sauce, stir to coat the seafood evenly, then simmer over medium heat for 2-3 minutes (uncovered). Add the pasta to the seafood sauce and toss until well coated. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
