Seared Scallops over Penne with Garlic, Parsley and Lemon
- 2 lbs. Whole grain pasta (I used Mueller’s penne)
- 1 buch parsley, chopped
- 5 cloves of garlic, chopped
- the zest and juice of one lemon
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- about a cup of vegetable stock
- 1 lb. sea scallops
Put up a pot of salted water to boil for the pasta. Cook according to package directions and then drain in a colindar. Put the pot back on the heat, add 3 tablespoons of olive oil in the pan. When it heats up, add the garlic and saute for a minute. add the lemon zest and juice, then add the vegetable stock.
Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Add the parsley and then the pasta back to the pot, toss, cover and remove from heat.
Heat a saute pan to a pretty high heat. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan and when that’s hot, gently add the scallops. You want to hear a sizzle. Allow them to sit on the heat – don’t move them around, you don’t want them to break and you want a nice crust on them. After about 2-3 minutes, the scallops should easily release so that you can flip them. If they don’t release, they’re not ready; let them tell you when.
When they’re done on both sides, transfer to a plate.
Plate some pasta, making sure you toss it really well first – and top with a couple of scallops.
Delicious – so satisfying. I think next time I’d had something with some heat, maybe red pepper flake when I’m sautéing the garlic. Serves 6-8 people.
(There are only six scallops in that pan, because not everyone ate at the same time and I wanted the scallops cooked to order. The pasta I don’t mind reheated, but the scallops really need to be made fresh.)
