Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups fresh, cleaned basil leaves
2 cups fresh cleaned flat-leaf parsley
3 cups chopped walnuts
1 cup grated Parmesan
3 cups extra virgin olive oil, plus 3 tablespoons
1 pound bay scallops
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 cup sliced zucchini
Kosher salt
8 ounces linguine

Steps:

  • Combine the basil, parsley, walnuts, and cheese in a food processor or mortar. Pulse or grind gradually adding the 3 cups olive oil until the mixture forms a paste.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the linguine and cook until it is al dente, about 8 minutes; drain and reserve.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the scallops, mushrooms, and zucchini and cook until the vegetables are tender and the scallops are opaque, about 2 minutes. Add the pesto and the linguine. Toss to coat the pasta with sauce. Spoon onto warm plates and serve.

I didn't have any pine nuts, so I used walnuts instead. They worked well in the pesto.

I accidentally overcooked the scallops, but they were still good. I'll be careful not to do that next time.

I'm not a fan of pesto, so I omitted it from the recipe. The scallops were still very good.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the pesto with a sun-dried tomato sauce. It was still delicious!
