Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Boil spaghetti in salted water until 1 minute short of al dente, then drain.
Step 2
Cut two 15x20-inch sheets of parchment paper. Divide pasta between them, leaving 2 inches clearance on all sides.
Step 3
Top each pasta mound with shrimp, scallops, tomato halves, and 2-3 lemon slices. Drizzle each with 0.25 cup wine and pinch salt and pepper.
Step 4
Fold parchment in half, then crimp edges tightly in a seal, leaving room for steam to circulate inside.
Step 5
Place packets on a baking sheet. Bake until the packets puff slightly and seafood is just opaque, 10–12 minutes.
Step 6
Carefully transfer packets to plates. Open at the table, drizzle with olive oil, and scatter fresh parsley on top.
