How to Make Scallops Marinara With Spinach Linguine

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add linguine and cook according to package directions, adding spinach during the last minute of cooking. Drain and set aside.
  2. While the pasta cooks, pat scallops dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, sear scallops for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
  5. Stir in marinara sauce and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Add the seared scallops, basil, parsley, and lemon juice to the sauce. Cook for 1 minute, allowing the flavors to meld.
  7. Add the cooked linguine and spinach to the skillet. Toss gently to combine.
  8. Serve immediately, drizzled with a little extra olive oil.
