This dish looks way too complicated for me. I'll stick to my simple pasta recipes.

I'm not sure about the combination of scallops and tomatoes. I might try it with a different vegetable.

I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but I really enjoyed it in this dish. It added a nice crunch.

The sauce was a little bland for my taste. I added some red pepper flakes to give it a little kick.
