Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and prepare an ice water bath. Cut a small "x" on the bottom of each tomato. In batches, place the tomatoes in the boiling water and blanch them for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the skins are easy to peel away. Remove and immediately plunge into the ice bath. Peel the tomatoes and halve horizontally. Squeeze out the seeds, using your fingers to get them all. Roughly chop the peeled and seeded tomatoes. Set aside. (You can also use whole peeled canned tomatoes. Simply drain them, seed, and roughly chop).
- Heat a large saute pan over medium high heat. Add the olive oil and heat. When the oil is hot, add the onions and garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Add the thyme leaves, oregano sprig, and chili flakes and saute until the garlic begins to turn golden brown. Add the tomatoes and the sugar and stir well. Lower the heat and cook slowly until the mixture is fairly dry, about 15 minutes.
- Cook the angel hair pasta in boiling, salted water until al dente. Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce. Add the Parmesan and basil and toss well. Place in a large pasta bowl and garnish with Parmesan and basil sprigs.
SAVORY SEA SCALLOPS AND ANGEL HAIR PASTA
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 WITH CRUSHED TOMATOES AND BASIL
Steps:
- 1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and generously salt it.
- 2. Cut a slit in the stem end of each tomato. Gently lower the tomatoes into the boiling water. Boil until the skin peels back from the slits, about 30 seconds. With a slotted spoon, transfer to a large bowl. Keep the water boiling.
- 3. While the tomatoes cool, on a cutting board, finely mince the garlic with the sugar into a paste. Peel off and discard the tomato skins, then transfer the tomatoes to a large bowl. With your hands, crush the tomatoes until chunky. Add the garlic-sugar paste and oil and crush the tomatoes into fine bits.
- 4. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until just al dente. Drain and transfer to the tomato sauce. Toss well. Tear the basil leaves into the bowl, season to taste with salt and pepper, and toss again.
- 5. Wipe up any oil drips or tomato sauce splatters from the counter with Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes*.

- Heat remaining olive oil in a 10 inch skillet over medium heat. Cook garlic, stirring constantly, until the garlic is tender, about 1 minute. Do not let the garlic burn. Add shrimp, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove shrimp from the skillet, and set aside.
- Stir tomatoes, wine, parsley, and basil into the skillet. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced by half, 8 to 12 minutes. Add shrimp, and continue cooking until the shrimp are heated through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Serve the shrimp mixture over the pasta. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

- Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce for this dish is made with a combination of tomatoes, basil, and white wine. This sauce is simple to make and it complements the delicate flavor of the scallops perfectly.
- Serve the dish immediately. This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The scallops will be at their best when they are hot and juicy.
