In a large skillet, heat one tablespoon of olive oil, then sauté the onion and garlic for two minutes. Add the saffron threads, fish broth, fresh chives, butter, chopped basil, dry white wine and heavy cream. Mix well, season and continue cooking over moderate heat for about eight minutes.

In a small skillet, heat the remaining oil and sauté the shrimp, scallops, squid, clams, and mussels for five to six minutes, or until cooked. Add the seafood to the sauce and simmer for three to four minutes. Sprinkle the fresh Italian parsley and add the hot-cooked linguine.
