Salt and pepper to taste

• Add the chopped tomatoes.
• Add the basil and parsely.
• Simmer and crush the tomatoes with the spatula when it's already tender.
• Salt and pepper to taste.
• Let the sauce simmer until all the liquid has evaporated.
• After that, add the squid, clams and mussels and increase the heat to medium. 
• Do not add water. Let the clams and mussels give out their own juices.
• Cover the saucepan and let it simmer until the shells open up and get cooked, around 5 minutes.
• Pour the sauce over cooked pasta and serve.
• Cheese and seafood usually do not go together so I am not putting cheese on my seafood pasta.
