SAVORY SEA SCALLOPS AND ANGEL HAIR PASTA



Savory Sea Scallops and Angel Hair Pasta image

This is a very simple, easy to prepare meal that you will most likely be asked to prepare again. The taste, if carefully prepared and not overcooked, is incredible. ENJOY!

Provided by JIM F.

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Scallops

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta
¼ cup butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 pounds sea scallops, rinsed and patted dry
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese to taste

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the angel hair pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and cook just until fragrant and softened, about 1 minute. Slice any scallops over 3/4-inch thick in half so they'll cook evenly; stir scallops, basil, and parsley into the skillet. Cook and gently stir just until scallops feel slightly firm when pressed with a finger, 2 to 3 minutes. Scallops will become tough and chewy if overcooked. Stir in lemon juice, and season with salt and black pepper. Pour in cream if you like a thicker sauce. Bring the mixture just to a bare simmer.
  • Serve over hot angel hair pasta; sprinkle to taste with Parmesan cheese.

FRESH ANGEL-HAIR PASTA WITH BACON AND PEAS



Fresh Angel-Hair Pasta with Bacon and Peas image

Inspired by pasta alla carbonara, this dish features bacon instead of pancetta, while shallots and peas give the sauce texture.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 slices bacon, sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
2 shallots, halved and thinly sliced
1 box (10 ounces) frozen peas, thawed
1 cup half-and-half
18 ounces fresh angel-hair pasta

Steps:

  • Set a large pot of salted water to boil. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain (leave fat in skillet).
  • Add shallots to skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Add peas and half-and-half; season with salt and pepper. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
  • Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente, according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water; drain pasta, and return to pot. Pour sauce over pasta; toss to combine, adding some reserved pasta water a little at a time to coat. Sprinkle with bacon, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. This is especially true for the spinach and peas.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian, and it refers to the ideal texture of cooked pasta. It should be firm to the bite, not mushy.
  • Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach cooks quickly, so only cook it for a few minutes, or it will become wilted and mushy.
  • Use a good quality feta cheese: Feta cheese is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Look for a cheese that is crumbly and has a slightly salty flavor.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the pasta is still hot and the spinach is still bright green.

Conclusion:

This angel hair pasta with fresh spinach, peas, and feta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's sure to be a hit with the whole family.
