Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your cooking goes smoothly.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh seafood, vegetables, and herbs will give your dish the best flavor. If possible, buy your ingredients from a local farmer's market or specialty grocery store.
- Don't Overcook the Scallops: Scallops cook very quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on them. Overcooked scallops will become tough and rubbery.
- Use a Good Quality Marinara Sauce: The marinara sauce is the foundation of this dish, so make sure you use a good quality sauce. You can either make your own or buy a jarred sauce from the store.
- Cook the Linguine al Dente: Linguine should be cooked al dente, which means it should be slightly firm to the bite. This will help it hold up better in the sauce.
- Add Fresh Herbs at the End: Fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley, will add a pop of flavor to your dish. Add them just before serving.
