ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH SCALLOPS AND ARUGULA
This recipe is from the Williams-Sonoma Collection series, Pasta, by Erica De Mane. A note about capers: Purchase capers packed in salt. They have a sweet, floral fragrance, as opposed to sharp-tasting brine-packed varieties (the vinegar variety changes the flavor of the caper). Ask for them at Italian specialty-food stores. To prepare salted capers, soak them in cool water for about 15 minutes, changing the water once or twice, to remove excess salt. Give them a final rinse and drain well. Estimated prep and cook time combined is 35-40 minutes.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh herbs, good olive oil, and flavorful cheese will make a big difference.
- Don't overcook the pasta. Angel hair pasta cooks very quickly, so be careful not to let it get mushy.
- Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are golden brown and fragrant. This will enhance their flavor.
- Use a microplane to finely grate the lemon zest. This will release the most flavor.
- If you don't have arugula, you can use another leafy green, such as spinach, kale, or romaine lettuce.
- Serve the pasta immediately, while it is still hot.
