Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Boil spaghetti in salted water until just shy of al dente, ~7 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Tear two large sheets of parchment paper, one per serving. Divide pasta between them, leaving a 3-inch border on each side.
Step 3
Top each pasta nest with shrimp, mussels, tomatoes, minced garlic, and lemon zest. Pour 1/4 cup white wine and 1/2 lemon juice over each.
Step 4
Fold parchment edges up and over, crimping to seal tight. Transfer packets to a sheet pan and bake until shrimp is pink and mussels open, ~10 minutes.
Step 5
Remove from oven. Carefully tear open each packet—steam will escape—and scatter fresh parsley on top.
Step 6
Serve immediately in the parchment, or slide onto a plate and drizzle with pan juices.
