How to Make Linguini With Scallops Sun Dried Tomatoes And Pine Nuts

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Toast 1/4 cup pine nuts on a baking sheet until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Set aside.
  3. Cook 1 pound linguine in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, about 12 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
  4. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Add 1 pound scallops and sear for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove scallops and set aside. Cut into quarters.
  6. Add remaining 5 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet. Add 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained), 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste).
  7. Cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute.
  8. Add the cooked linguine, toasted pine nuts, and reserved pasta water to the skillet. Toss to combine.
  9. Add the seared scallops and remaining 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley. Stir gently to coat.
  10. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
