1

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat.
2

Once boiling, stir in the linguine and return the water to a boil.
3

Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until it is cooked through but still slightly firm, about 11 minutes.
4

Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
5

Heat a large skillet with about 1/4-inch of olive oil over low heat.
6

Add the garlic, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and the anchovies; cook and stir until the anchovies melt into the oil, 7 to 10 minutes.
7

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, increase the heat to medium, and bring to a simmer.
8

Stir in the clams.
9

Once the clams begin to open, arrange the shrimp in a single layer and let them simmer.
10

Flip the shrimp when they turn pink on one side, about 2 minutes, then add the scallops and squid.
11

Continue cooking until the shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, about 2 more minutes.
12

Season with salt, pepper, and the remaining 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning.
13

Toss the cooked pasta with the sauce.
14

Garnish with a lemon wedge, Manchego cheese, and basil before serving.
