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.

ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH SCALLOPS AND ARUGULA



Angel Hair Pasta With Scallops and Arugula image

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 fresh scallops: Fresh scallops have a sweet and delicate flavor that is perfect for this dish. If you can't find fresh scallops, frozen scallops are a good substitute.
  • Sear the scallops properly: Searing the scallops in a hot pan creates a golden brown crust and helps to lock in the juices. Be sure to sear the scallops for only 1-2 minutes per side, or they will become tough.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce for this dish should be light and flavorful. A simple sauce made with white wine, butter, and lemon juice is a good option. You can also add other ingredients to the sauce, such as garlic, shallots, or herbs.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta is cooked until it is still slightly firm to the bite. This will help to prevent the pasta from becoming mushy when it is combined with the sauce.
  • Add the arugula at the end: Arugula is a delicate green that wilts easily. Add it to the pasta at the very end of the cooking process, so that it retains its bright color and crisp texture.

Conclusion:

Angel hair pasta with scallops and arugula is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The scallops are seared until golden brown and then tossed with a light and flavorful sauce. The pasta is cooked al dente and the arugula is added at the end for a touch of freshness. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
