Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 ounces spaghetti
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound sea scallops, tough muscles on the side removed, patted dry
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
5 cloves garlic, minced
Juice of 2 lemons (about 1/3 cup)
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package directions for al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water, then drain the pasta.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the scallops with salt and pepper. Add the scallops to the skillet, raise the heat to high and sear until golden brown and just firm, 1 to 2 minutes per side; transfer to a plate.
  • Return the skillet to medium-high heat, add the butter and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until the garlic is lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Add the cooked pasta and parsley to the skillet and toss to combine. Add a little of the reserved pasta cooking water to help thin out the sauce so it evenly coats the pasta. Divide the pasta evenly into bowls and top each with some scallops.

Time 35m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 -2 lb fresh sea scallops (rinsed and patted dry) or 1 -2 lb frozen sea scallops (rinsed and patted dry)
2 shallots or 1 medium white onion
4 garlic cloves
1 cup flour (or enough to lightly coat the scallops)
1 1/2 cups white wine (AVOID SALTY COOKING WINE!)
1/4 cup light cream or 1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, for searing the scallops
2 -3 pinches italian seasoning
2 -3 pinches dried oregano
1 tablespoon salt (plus more of salting pasta water)
freshly cracked black pepper (3-4 grinds)
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
5 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish)
freshly grated parmesan cheese or parmigiano-reggiano cheese
lemon wedge (to garnish) (optional)
1 lb linguine or 1 lb thin spaghetti

Steps:

  • first, get your sautee pan ready. it's best to use a deeper sautee pan, or slightly larger frying pan (to hold sauce). fill another pot with water over medium-high heat for your pasta. add oil to sautee pan and heat the pan over medium heat.
  • lightly coat your rinsed scallops in the flour. once the pan is hot, carefully place the scallops in the pan. REMEMBER: the less you touch them, the better browning you get!
  • leave scallops alone for a few minutes until they are golden on the bottom. (flip a scallop over to test) cook on other side for another 4 minutes. remove scallops once they are firm and golden. set aside on plate with a paper towel.
  • drain some of the left over olive oil and add the garlic and onions (if you're not using a non-stick pan, this will help scrape the yummy drippings on the bottom!) sautee the garlic and onions until slightly transparent and add: italian seasoning, oregano, salt and pepper.
  • when your water is boiling, HEAVILY salt the water and add pasta. stir to avoide sticking.
  • add the wine to the onion mixture and reduce heat to low. cover pan. leave covered for about 5-7 minutes.
  • when the sauce is slightly bubbling, add the cream and keep stirring. add a couple ladle-fulls of pasta water to the sauce to get an even creamier consistency. add scallops back into sauce and turn heat off.
  • once pasta is cooked, drain immediately and plate.
  • ladle equal amounts on each plate and distribute the scallops (don't be too greedy!). sprinkle with parsely and freshly grated parmesan cheese.
  • you can squeeze some fresh lemons for a nice spritz. enjoy!

  • Use a good quality white wine: The white wine in this dish adds flavor and depth. Use a dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.
