Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz linguine pasta

- 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 onion, diced
- 1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions
- Cook the pasta: Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add your linguine and cook according to the package directions until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside. Pro tip: Reserve a cup of the pasta water for later!
- Sauté the aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then toss in the minced garlic, and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the tomatoes: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Season the sauce with salt and pepper, letting it cook for about 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Incorporate the seafood: Introduce the shrimp, scallops, and mussels to the sauce. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through.
- Combine and serve: Once your seafood is perfectly cooked, add the linguine to the skillet and toss everything together until well combined. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil.

For added flavor, consider incorporating red pepper flakes or serving with garlic bread.
