Savory Sea Scallops and Angel Hair Pasta image

This is a very simple, easy to prepare meal that you will most likely be asked to prepare again. The taste, if carefully prepared and not overcooked, is incredible. ENJOY!

Provided by JIM F.

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Scallops

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta
¼ cup butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 pounds sea scallops, rinsed and patted dry
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese to taste

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the angel hair pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and cook just until fragrant and softened, about 1 minute. Slice any scallops over 3/4-inch thick in half so they'll cook evenly; stir scallops, basil, and parsley into the skillet. Cook and gently stir just until scallops feel slightly firm when pressed with a finger, 2 to 3 minutes. Scallops will become tough and chewy if overcooked. Stir in lemon juice, and season with salt and black pepper. Pour in cream if you like a thicker sauce. Bring the mixture just to a bare simmer.
  • Serve over hot angel hair pasta; sprinkle to taste with Parmesan cheese.

Tips:

  • Prep veggies first: Before starting the pasta, wash and chop the spinach, peas, and feta cheese. This will save time and ensure that everything is ready when the pasta is cooked.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh spinach, peas, and feta cheese will give the dish the best flavor. If you can't find fresh spinach, frozen spinach that has been thawed and squeezed dry can be used instead.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Angel hair pasta cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. It should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
  • Reserve some pasta water: Before draining the pasta, reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta water. This can be used to thin out the sauce or to add moisture to the pasta if it becomes dry.
  • Serve immediately: Angel hair pasta is best served immediately after it is cooked. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Angel hair pasta with fresh spinach, peas, and feta cheese is a light and flavorful dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. The fresh ingredients and simple preparation make this dish a great choice for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.
