Sear the seafood

Heat the olive oil in a wide paella pan and quickly sear the shrimp and squid until just colored, then remove and set aside.

Toast the noodles

Add the noodles to the same pan and toast them in the oil, stirring, until lightly golden.

Build the base

Push the noodles aside, add the garlic and grated tomato to the center, and cook until it darkens slightly, then stir in the sweet pimenton.

Add stock and saffron

Pour in the hot stock, add the saffron, season with salt, and stir everything together evenly across the pan.

Simmer without stirring

Bring to a boil, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook without stirring until the noodles have absorbed most of the liquid.

Add the mussels

Nestle the mussels into the noodles along with the seared shrimp and squid, and continue cooking until the mussels open and the liquid is nearly gone.

Rest and serve

Remove from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving straight from the pan.
