Steps:
- This all happens very fast so prepare all ingredients in advance. 1. Mix Olive oil and basil in a large bowl. 2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta in boiling water according to package directions. 3. Mix salt and pepper in a small bowl. 4. Sprinkle salt and pepper mixture onto one side of the dry scallops. 5. Heat a large cast iron or heavy frying pan. 6. Add vegetable oil. Heat to very hot. 7. Remove 2 Tbs of pasta water and mix pasta water in with oil and basil 8. Drain, rinse, and transfer pasta to the bowl with the basil mixture. 9. Sprinkle cheese into pasta mixture (1/2 at a time) and mix well. 10. When the pan is very hot, place scallops (salt/pepper side down) in a single layer around the pan. Do not crowd the scallops or they will steam instead of sear. Sprinkle additional salt/pepper mixture onto the top of the scallops. 11. Sear the scallops for 3 minutes until you see a golden brown color on the bottom. Turn scallops, and cook the other side. 12. When the scallops are golden remove them to a heated plate and cover them. 13. Reduce the heat for the pan to medium and add scallops/onions and brown them. 14. Once the onions are brown (about 4 minutes) add the white wine, scraping the pan with a wooden spoon to remove anything stuck to the pan. Slowly increase the heat. 15. Continue to scrape and mix ingredients in the pan as the mixture reduces. (about 3 minutes) 15. Divide pasta onto plates, and top with scallops. Spoon wine reduction on top of the scallops. 16. Serve with a green vegetable like asparagus.
