Linguini with Sautéed Scallops and Peas
Report
Scallops are great for a quick meal any night of the week and are a real treat. They can be quickly sautéed, then added to salads like this Scallop and Baby Green Citrus Mojo Salad, and this delicious Scallop and Grapefruit Salad, but once in a while when I want something more substantial, I love it with pasta. Here I tossed it with some pasta and peas, for a dinner that took less than 15 minutes to make.

Ingredients
- 4 oz linguini (whole wheat or low carb)
- 1 cup peas frozen
- 2 tbsp parsley chopped
- 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 butter 1 teaspoon
- 6 sea scallops cleaned, large
- coarse salt
- black pepper ground
Instructions
- Cook pasta in a medium pot of boiling salted water until al dente, according to package instructions adding the peas to the boiling pasta water 4 minutes before finished.
- Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining, drain the pasta and return to pot.
- Add parsley and 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Stir, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time. Adjust salt and pepper, to taste.
- Meanwhile while the pasta is cooking, season the scallops with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat butter over medium flame. Cook scallops until browned on one side, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Flip; cook until opaque throughout, about 30 to 60 seconds more, while their centers are still slightly translucent (you can check this
- by viewing them from the side). Be careful not to overcook or they will become tough.
- Serve over pasta.
