    - 1 bay leaf
    - 1/2 cup olive oil
    - 1 large onion, finely chopped
    - 1/2 cup white wine
    - 3 x 16 oz. cans whole peeled plum tomatoes, undrained and puréed in a food processor
    - 5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
    - 8-10 firmly closed small fresh mussels, scrubbed clean
    - 8 oz. (200g) fresh or frozen thawed scallops, patted dry
    - 8 oz. (200g) cleaned squid (calamari) hoods, sliced into rings
    - 1 lb. (450g) cooked medium shrimp, peeled
    - 1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
    - 1 lb. (450g) dried spaghetti

    Recipe



    Tie the herbs and bay leaf in a bundle.

    Heat two thirds of the oil in a saucepan and cook the onion for 5 minutes without coloring.

    Add the wine and simmer until reduced by three-quarters.

    Add the tomatoes, garlic and herbs and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes, then uncovered for 40 minutes.

    Add the mussels and simmer for 5 minutes until they open. Discard any unopened ones.

    Heat the remaining oil in a skillet and fry the scallops and squid for 1 minute, or until firm and white.

    Add to the sauce with the shrimp and heat through. Remove the herbs and mix in the parsley.

    Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add a splash of oil to stop the pasta from sticking and cook the spaghetti according to the manufacturer's instructions.

    Season the sauce and pour over the drained pasta. "
