... homemade linguine according to my pasta recipe here. Bay scallops are the perfect protein to cook with – bite-size, perfect for pasta or stir fry, and taste just like regular scallops but cost less and cook faster than the larger-sized scallops. After you try this meal, I guarantee it will make it to your favorite list!

Best served with:

Herb Baguette

Directions:

1. Pasta:

A.

Cook your pasta (follow the instructions on the box for cooking store-bought pasta), then drain the water by pouring the pasta over a colander.

B.

Or prepare and cook homemade pasta, and then drain with a colander.

  • Cook linguine to very ala dente since it is a fragile kind of pasta and will finish cooking during the finishing cooking phase (step 4).
  • Do not leave your pasta to rest in the colander. It is still cooking, and because of the hot temperature of the pasta, you can end up with overcooked pasta. Use the pasta immediately in the next step or place the pasta to cool on a baking sheet if you need more time and keep occasionally stirring to prevent overcooking before you further cook with the pasta.

2. Butter sauce with scallops:

2.1. Preheat the stir-fry pan on medium-high heat with ¼ cup of frying oil and add:

10 cloves of garlic – sliced
1 cup of herbs of your choice – finely chopped

Sauté with occasional stirring until the garlic is cooked – get a light appetizing sear (about 2- 4 minutes).

2.2. Reduce heat to medium and add:

1 stick (¼ LB) of butter – cut into a few pieces
¾ TSP of salt
½ TSP of ground pepper – ideally freshly ground

And let slowly melt with occasional stirring.

2.3. Add:

Bay Scallops

And cook in melted butter with occasional stirring until fully cooked (about 2 – 4 minutes). *

2.4. Add:

Cooked Pasta

Cook with constant stirring with tongs until the butter gets absorbed into the pasta and all ingredients nicely combine (about 1 minute).

Important:
Stir pasta gently with tongs with silicone tips to prevent ripping the noodles. It is also important to gently scoop up part of the noodles and fold a section of noodles over as a part of the stirring process.

3. Complete the meal:

3.1. Take the pan off the burner and add:

1 cup of grated parmesan
Juice from 1 Lemon

Turn and thoroughly (but still gently) stir together using tongs.

3.2.

Taste and add salt or pepper if needed.

4. Plating & serving:

4.1.

Place the pasta in the center of the plate using tongs (try to create a twist effect during plating).

4.2.

Sprinkle with grated parmesan, freshly ground salt, and pepper. Optionally, also sprinkle with finely chopped fresh herbs.

* Check with a food thermometer to make sure that you have reached the minimum recommended safe serving temperature of 145°F.
