This dish helps me warm up on a cold winter's day without being too heavy. It was inspired by a dish from my favorite vegetarian cookbook. I eat it with rice and chicken for dinner or a piece of brown bread for lunch.

Categories     Seafood Pasta

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound linguine pasta
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 pound grape tomatoes
⅓ cup dry white wine
¼ cup sliced pitted Kalamata olives
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pound bay scallops, rinsed and patted dry
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add linguine and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 9 to 10 minutes, or according to package instructions. Drain pasta, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water, and set aside.
  • Wipe out the pot, and heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add tomatoes, stirring occasionally, and cook until they start to burst, 5 to 7 minutes; crush some with the back of a spoon. Stir in white wine, olives, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper; reduce heat and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.

Gently flip the scallops, and cook until firm and opaque, 1 to 2 minutes more. Add garlic to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Do not overcook scallops.
  • Add the pasta to the tomato mixture, toss to coat, and add reserved pasta water, if necessary. Divide the pasta mixture evenly among 4 shallow bowls and top with the scallops. Lightly drizzle with more olive oil, if desired, garnish with parsley, and serve.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 130, Carbohydrate 5 g, Fat 2, Fiber 2 g, Protein 4 g, SaturatedFat 5 g, ServingSize 1 Serving, Sodium 309 mg

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellow or wilted florets.
  • Prepare the broccoli properly: Cut the broccoli into 1-inch florets and wash them thoroughly.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, but not mushy. Overcooked broccoli will lose its nutrients and flavor.
  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: Fresh tomatoes will give your dish the best flavor. If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well before using.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little spice.

Conclusion:

Italian broccoli with tomatoes is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It is also a healthy dish that is packed with vitamins and minerals. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful dish, give Italian broccoli with tomatoes a try. You won't be disappointed!
