Cook capellini in boiling salted water until al dente, then drain and set aside.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add minced garlic and diced onion, sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Pour in white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze, and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Stir in cherry tomatoes, bay leaves, and red pepper flakes; cook until tomatoes soften, about 5 minutes.

Add mixed seafood to the skillet, cooking until opaque and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.

Pour in fish stock and bring to a gentle simmer, allowing flavors to meld for 3-4 minutes.

Season with salt, black pepper, and fresh parsley to taste.

Add the cooked capellini to the skillet, tossing gently to combine.

Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a pat of butter, stirring until melted and incorporated.

Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley and lemon wedges.
