LINGUINI WITH SCALLOPS, SUN-DRIED TOMATOES AND PINE NUTS
This is from my Food and Wine One Dish Meals cookbook. My hunny is going to love this! I like it because it is just so simple. Use less red pepper flakes if you don't like spicy. Shrimp would work in place of the scallops.

Tips:
- To ensure the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible.
- If you don't have sun-dried tomatoes on hand, you can substitute 1/2 cup of chopped fresh tomatoes.
- To make the dish more flavorful, use a good quality white wine. A dry white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, works well.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the scallops. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the scallops until they are just opaque in the center. Overcooking will make them tough.
- Be careful not to overcook the zucchini. It should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
- To make the dish more visually appealing, garnish it with fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley.
