1. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.

3. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

6. Add the cleaned clams, mussels, and prawns to the skillet. Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through and the shells have opened. Discard any shells that do not open.
7. Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Toss the cooked spaghetti into the skillet with the seafood and sauce, ensuring the pasta is well-coated.
9. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your Scampi Alla Scoglio with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil for an added touch.
