  • Don't overcook the pasta: Angel hair pasta cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Cook the pasta according to the package directions, and be sure to drain it immediately and toss it with a little olive oil to prevent it from sticking together.
  • Add the scallops to the pasta at the end: This will help to prevent the scallops from overcooking. Add the scallops to the pasta and toss to coat them in the sauce. Serve immediately.
