Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the spaghetti or linguine according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
In a large, deep skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and chopped shallot to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and soft.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and dry white wine. Stir well and add the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Simmer the sauce for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Add the fresh mussels to the sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the mussels open. Discard any unopened mussels.
Add the shrimp and squid to the skillet. Stir and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the seafood is just cooked through.
Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet with the sauce and seafood. Add a splash of reserved pasta water to help coat the pasta, if necessary.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the pasta. Toss everything together and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy your delicious Seafood Pasta with Tomato Sauce!
