Saute shallots, celery, red and yellow or green bell pepper and garlic in oil for about 10 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently.
Add tomatoes and liquid, puree, fish stock or clam juice, bay leaf, anchovy paste, saffron, salt and black pepper to sauteed vegetables. Simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
While vegetable mixture is cooking, pour 1 inch water into 3-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add mussels in shells and cook, covered, for 4 minutes or just until shells open. Drain.
Using sharp knife, cut mussels away from shells. Reserve 12 shells and discard remainder. Rinse mussels under cold running water and set aside.
Add artichoke hearts, shrimp and scallops to vegetable mixture. Cook, stirring frequently, over medium-high heat for 5 minutes or just until shrimp turn pink.
Prepare pasta according to package directions. While pasta cooks continue with preparation of sauce. Drain pasta well before using.
Stir cream and liqueur into seafood mixture. Simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
Add clams and mussels to sauce. Cook for 1 minute or until thoroughly heated.
To serve, divide spaghetti among 4 large shallow bowls. Discard bay leaf from sauce. Remove shrimp, mussels and artichoke hearts from sauce; return mussels to reserved shells and set shrimp and artichoke hearts aside.
Spoon sauce over pasta and garnish each serving with 1 shrimp, 3 mussels, 3 artichoke hearts and celery leaves.
