Instructions

Step one

Bring an extra large pot of salted water to a boil.

Step two

In another extra large pot, coat the bottom with olive oil. On medium heat, sauté onion, shallots and fennel until translucent, approximately 3 minutes. Add garlic and allow to sweat.

Step three

Begin building the flavors for the sauce. Add anchovy fillets, parsley, basil, saffron, thyme, oregano and crushed red pepper. Stir and let flavors meld together.

Step four

Add white wine, stir and simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the wine to evaporate. Then add the clam juice, stir and simmer for another 2-3 minutes.

Step five

Add the crushed plum tomatoes and tomato paste. Rinse any excess sauce from the cans with water and add to pot, along with bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper to taste, stir and reduce heat. Allow to simmer for 30 minutes.

Step six

Once water comes to boil, add a drop of olive oil and pasta. Stir and cook for about 10 minutes, until al dente.

Step seven

During the last 10 minutes of the sauce cooking, add the seafood to the sauce. Be sure to pat dry all cleaned and rinsed seafood. Sprinkle shrimp, scallops and cod with salt, pepper and fresh lemon juice. Add to pot and stir gently. Add calamari, mussels and clams, stir gently. Seafood is done cooking once shellfish open and shrimp turn pink.

Step eight

Strain pasta and in a large pasta bowl, toss linguini in with sauce. Serve in individual bowls, adding a good helping of seafood and sauce over the pasta. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and crushed red pepper. Garnish with fresh fennel sprigs.
