Provided by Sarah Trenalone

Categories     Main Course

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 teaspoons red chili flakes (Use less for a milder sauce)
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
4 garlic cloves, diced
2 pounds fresh tomatoes (diced) or 28oz can diced or crushed tomatoes
1 cup water
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 pound spaghetti (Use gluten-free spaghetti if needed)
7 ounces sea scallops (3-5 per person, depending on the size of scallops) (dry-packed, no chemical additives* (See Recipe Notes))
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder (optional)
fresh basil, torn (optional garnish)

Steps:

  • Add the oil, onions, chili flakes and salt to a large, shallow pan. (Use a 12" pan or larger, see recipe notes.) Cook the onions over medium heat until they begin to brown (~5 min). Add the garlic and cook 1 more minute, or until the garlic is fragrant.
  • Add the tomatoes, water, and oregano to the pan. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer.
  • Simmer the tomatoes for 20-25 minutes, or until most of the water has evaporated and the sauce has thickened.Taste the sauce and add more chili flakes, salt, or oregano if desired. Simmer 1-2 more minutes if you added more seasoning.
  • While the sauce simmers, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Cook spaghetti according to package directions.Add the cooked spaghetti to the pasta sauce and toss to coat.
  • Heat butter and oil in a heavy-bottom pan on high heat and allow to melt, but not brown. If butter starts to brown or smoke, lower heat slightly.Pat scallops dry (they won't sear properly if they're still damp). Toss with a little salt, garlic powder, and cayenne (if using).Add scallops to the pan, and let them sit on one side for 2 minutes per side, until each side is golden brown.
  • Divide pasta between two plates, and then divide the scallops between the dishes (3-5 per plate). Garnish with fresh basil if desired. Serve immediately.

Spicy Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo image

I make this spicy shrimp pasta a lot because it's a something my family never seems to get tired of. The sauce is so fast to make I can get it done while the fettuccine is cooking. In the past, I have added red peppers and spinach, but who's to say you could not add mushrooms or more or less spice. -Stephanie Beluk, Sharpsburg, Georgia

CAJUN SEAFOOD PASTA



Cajun Seafood Pasta image

This recipe is a hot one, but delicious! If you are weak of tongue, then divide the amounts of peppers in half. Better to add more than spoil your creation! Bay scallops are preferred, but the larger sea scallops can be used if they are cut in half. This dish can also be placed in a casserole dish and placed under the broiler until top turns golden brown!
