INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large kettle bring wine and water to a boil. Add lobsters and
cook, covered, 3 minutes. (They will be partially cooked.) Transfer
lobsters with tongs to a large bowl and boil cooking liquid until
reduced to about 1/3 cup.  Twist off claws and with flat side of a
heavy knife crack claws on one  side. Cut off tails and cut each tail
crosswise into 4 pieces, cutting  through shell and discarding dark
intestinal vein. Halve body  sections and discard head sacs. Reserve
tomalley and any roe if  desired. Lobsters may be prepared up to this
point 4 hours ahead and  chilled, covered.  In a 6-quart kettle bring 5
quarts salted water to a boil for  spaghetti.  In a 5-quart heavy
kettle bring tomato sauce, lobster cooking liquid,  and reserved
tomalley and roe if using to a simmer, whisking. Add  claws and bodies
and simmer, covered, 5 minutes, or until claw meat  is just cooked
through. Transfer claws with tongs to large bowl and  keep warm,
covered.  Add tail pieces to sauce and simmer, covered, 3 to 4 minutes,
or  until just cooked through. Transfer tail pieces with tongs to bowl
and keep warm, covered. Remove and discard lobster bodies.  Add mussels
to sauce and simmer, covered, 3 to 8 minutes, checking  mussels every
minute or so and transferring as opened with tongs to  bowl. Keep
mussels warm, covered. (Discard any mussels that are  unopened after 8
minutes.) Season sauce with salt and pepper and keep  warm, covered.
While seafood is cooking, cook spaghetti in boiling water until al
dente and drain in a colander. Add spaghetti, lobster, and mussels to
sauce and heat over moderate heat until heated through, stirring and
tossing mixture until spaghetti is coated well with sauce.  Transfer
spaghetti and seafood to a large platter and sprinkle with  parsley.
