Prepare the Soup Base
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour in white wine and simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add crushed tomatoes, seafood broth, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes. -
Cook the Linguine
While the soup simmers, cook linguine in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside. -
Add the Seafood
Add clams to the soup, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes or until they open. Discard any that remain closed.
Stir in shrimp and cook for 3-4 minutes, until pink and opaque.
Gently fold in crab meat and cook for another 2 minutes to heat through. -
Finish the Dish
Add the cooked linguine to the pot, tossing gently to combine. Stir in fresh parsley and lemon juice. -
Serve
Ladle into bowls, making sure each has shrimp, crab, clams, and linguine.
Garnish with basil and optional Parmesan. Serve with crusty bread.
