PASTA WITH SCALLOPS

(serves 2) from Marcella Hazan

1 lb scallops

½ C plus 1 T olive oil

1 T garlic, chopped fine

2 T parsley, chopped fine

¼ tsp or more chopped hot red pepper, dried or fresh

salt to taste

1 lb fresh linguini or spaghetti

½ cup toasted bread crumbs

Rinse and dry scallops and cut into 3/8” thick pieces. Put the oil and garlic in saucepan and sauté over medium heat until garlic turns a light brown. Add the parsley and hot pepper, stirring once or twice. Add the scallops and cook for about 1 minute until they turn a flat white. Turn off heat. Cook the pasta in salted boiling water and when almost done, turn on the heat under the sauce pan to high and cook just 30 seconds. If scallops throw off juice do not try to boil down. Drain pasta, throw in bowl and mix in sauce and the breadcrumbs.
