Pour in the white wine and cover with a lid. Cook for about a minute or so until the clams start to open.
Add the shrimp and calamares to the skillet with clams and give it a stir. Cover and cook for another minute or so. - Taste for seasonings with more Aglio Olio and add sea salt if needed.
- Turn down the spaghetti in the deep skillet and stir carefully together the clams, sauce and spaghetti. Sprinkle over parsley and some more olive oil.
- Serve when hot and enjoy! (If you are not a purist – finish of with some grinded Parmigiano Reggiano)
