Recipies for Seafood Scallops
Pasta and Scallops
You will find several recipies for seafood scallops on this site - there is a lovely garlic prawn and scallop appetizer, but here I am using pasta with scallops.
The tomato sauce I use as a base is so versatile - it will lend itself to any type of seafood you care to use.
Pasta with Scallops
1 lb (450g) spaghetti
2 tbspn olive oil
2 garlic cloves - peeled and crushed
1 large onion - peeled and chopped finely
1 can 14 oz (400g) peeled plum tomatoes - chopped
1 glass white wine (optional)
2 tspn dried basil
1 lb (450g) prepared scallops - sliced in half crossways
Heat half the oil in a frying pan, add the garlic and fry gently until softened. Add the scallops and cook for about 3 minutes. Remove the scallops with a slotted spoon and set to one side.
Add the rest of the oil and onions and cook until the onion is softened.
Add the can of tomatoes, white wine and basil and simmer for about 15 minutes until thickened.
Cook the spaghetti according to the instructions on the packet.
Add the scallops to the tomato sauce, heat through and serve immediately with lots of fresh parmesan.
****Tip****
Did you know, that you can cook pasta in advance and 'refresh' with boiling water.
What you do is bring a pan of water to the boil (or boil the kettle) and just dip the pasta in for about 1 minute - it's as good as new again.
