With your ingredients ready, let’s get cooking! Here’s how to prepare this seafood delight:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Add the mixed seafood to the skillet. Cook until the seafood is just opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
4. Pour the white wine into the skillet, scraping up any bits from the bottom. Allow it to simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
5. Add the broth and red pepper flakes, if using. Let the mixture simmer for another 2 minutes.
6. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the butter. Allow it to melt into the sauce, then return the seafood to the skillet.
7. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce. If needed, add reserved pasta water to achieve your desired sauce consistency.
8. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

This dish comes together quickly, making it perfect for a weeknight dinner or an impromptu gathering with friends.
