How to Make Bay Scallop Primavera

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and sauté until translucent but still crisp, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add 1 cup chopped bell peppers (any color), 1 cup broccoli florets, and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cover and simmer for 3 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Set aside.
  5. Cook 1 pound pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
