Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Boil spaghetti in salted water until just shy of al dente, ~7 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Tear two large sheets of parchment paper, one per serving. Divide pasta between them, leaving a 3-inch border on each side.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from oven. Carefully tear open each packet—steam will escape—and scatter fresh parsley on top.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately in the parchment, or slide onto a plate and drizzle with pan juices.
