How to Make Angel Hair Pasta With Scallops Tomato Basil
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Allow the pan to heat up for 1 minute.
- Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- Add 1 pound of sea scallops, seasoned with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes (optional). Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until opaque and cooked through.
- Add 1 pint of cherry tomatoes and 1/2 cup of fresh basil leaves. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are heated through and slightly softened.
- Remove from heat and taste, adjusting seasonings as needed. Consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
- Add 1 pound of angel hair pasta (cooked al dente according to package directions) to the skillet. Toss gently to combine the pasta with the scallop and tomato mixture.
- Serve immediately and garnish with extra basil leaves, if desired.
