    1 cup  diced onion
    1 Tbsp  minced garlic
    1 Tbsp  chili flake
    2 Tbsp  chopped olives, (mixed variety will add depth of flavor)
    1 Tbsp  chopped, (rinsed) capers
    3  anchovy fillets
    3 cups  tomato sauce
    1 cup  white wine
    2 Tbsp  extra virgin olive oil
    1 Tbsp  minced parsley
    15 to 20  mussels
    15 to 20  clams
    8 oz  rockfish
    8 oz  calamari
    16 oz  spaghetti
      salt, to taste
    2 tsp  fresh cracked pepper

In a heavy bottomed sauce pan, sweat the onions, garlic, chili, and anchovies until translucent and aromatic. Add the olives, capers, and white wine. Allow the white wine to reduce and add the tomato sauce base and bring it to a simmer.

In a pot of water at a full boil, blanch the spaghetti for 5 minutes and add it to the tomato sauce base. The pasta will be undercooked at this point. However, we are going to finish the cooking of it in the sauce to absorb flavor and create a creamy texture in the sauce. Cook the pasta for about two more minutes in the sauce and add the mussels, clams, and rockfish.

Cook and stir lightly as to not break up the fish too much. Once the clams and mussels have opened, add the parsley and calamari and cook for another two minutes more to just cook the squid. Remove from the heat and serve with a drizzle of high quality extra virgin olive oil and cracked pepper.
