1

Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper; cook until fragrant, 30 to 40 seconds. Pour in the white wine and raise the heat to medium-high. Let the wine reduce by half, about 8 minutes. Add the clam juice and lower the heat to medium-low. Stir in the marinara, basil, and salt. Simmer to let the flavors blend, about 20 minutes.
2

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine at a rolling boil until slightly firm, about 11 minutes. Drain and set aside.
3

Add the shrimp, scallops, lobster, mussels, and clams to the sauce and cook until the clams and mussels open, the scallops are opaque, the shrimp is pink, and the lobster is red on the outside and opaque inside, 8 to 10 minutes.
4

Toss the linguine in the sauce until it thickens enough to coat the noodles (it will still be a relatively thin sauce), about 3 minutes.
5

Plate the noodles and top with the seafood and sauce. Garnish with parsley, and serve right away with Parmesan cheese.
