Instructions:
1. In large skillet, heat 2 T oil over medium heat.
Add garlic, thyme, red pepper, and 1/4 t salt; cook 2
minutes. Add shrimp and cod to skillet-saute with
slotted spoon until shrimp and cod are almost cooked
through-about 3 minutes. Cut calamari crosswise into
1/2-inch-thick rings; add to seafood mixture and cook
1 minute (do not overcook as calamari will toughen).
Remove seafood to large bowl or plate; cover to keep
wann and set aside. 2. Add remaining 3 T oil to
skillet. Stir in tomatoes with their juice, the wine,
sugar, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt to skillet to
make sauce; cover and simmer 10 minutes. Meanwhile,
cook tagliatelle following package directions. Uncover
sauce and cook 5 minutes longer. Remove from heat and
gently stir in reserved seafood. 3. If desired, just
before serving, steam mussels until they open. Discard
any which don't open. To serve, transfer cooked pasta
to serving platter, top with sauce and seafood mixture
and toss until well combined. Garnish platter with
mussels and fresh thyme sprig, if desired. Note:
