Seared Scallop Pasta with Burst Tomatoes and Parsley

Ingredients

  • 6 oz Weathervane Scallops (about 4 scallops)

  • ½ lb spaghetti or capellini

  • olive oil

  • 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes

  • 4 cloves minced garlic

  • splash of white wine

  • 2 tbsp butter, divided

  • ¼ cup grated parmesan or Asiago cheese

  • 2 tbsp roughly chopped parsley

  • crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add tomatoes and sauté for 8-10 minutes.

  2. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package. Reserve some pasta water after straining and return noodles to the pot.

  3. Add garlic to the tomatoes and sauté for a minute. Add a splash of white wine and 1 tbsp butter. Cook for another 2 minutes or until the alcohol has cooked off.

  4. Add the spaghetti to the tomato mixture, along with grated cheese, and a splash of pasta water.

  5. Mix pasta with the sauce and add more pasta water if needed to reach a creamy, smooth consistency.

  6. Season with salt and pepper.

  7. In a separate skillet, heat 1 tbsp butter on medium-high heat. Pat scallops dry and season with salt & pepper. Cook for 2 minutes per side or until golden brown.

  8. Plate your pasta, add scallops, and top with parsley, red pepper flakes, and additional cheese.

  9. Serve and enjoy!
