Spaghettini With Pine Nuts And Spicy Scallops Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350. Toast the pine nuts in the oven until golden brown, about 8 minutes.
• In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the linguini until just done, about 12 minutes. Drain.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick frying pan over moderately high heat until very hot.
• Put the scallops in the pan and sear until brown on the bottom, 1-2 minutes.
• Turn and sear until brown on the other side, 1-2 minutes longer. Remove the scallops and cut them into quarters.
• In the same pan, heat the remaining 5 tablespoons of oil over moderate heat.
• Add the tomatoes, garlic, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring for 1 minute.
• Toss with the pasta, scallops, pine nuts and the remaining parsley. Add salt to taste.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it is shimmering. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, add to the skillet and cook until lightly browned on both sides, about 3 minutes total; transfer to a plate. Season the scallops with salt and pepper, add to the skillet and cook undisturbed until nicely browned on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Give the scallops a quick stir and cook 1 minute, then transfer to the plate with the shrimp.
• Add the spaghetti to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions for al dente. Strain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water.
• While the spaghetti cooks, reduce the heat to medium, add the garlic to the skillet and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring to scrape up any brown bits, until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, red pepper flakes and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the pasta, shrimp, scallops and reserved cooking water and toss to combine. Continue cooking until the sauce coats the pasta and the seafood is heated through, about 2 minutes.
• Turn off the heat, stir in the parsley and basil and divide among four serving bowls. Sprinkle with the lemon zest, drizzle with more olive oil if desired and serve.

Steps:

• Peel the shrimp, reserving the shells. Carefully devein the shrimp and coarsely chop. Coarsely chop the scallops and combine with the shrimp and 1/4 cup water in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse on and off to finely chop but don't create a puree. Add another tablespoon of water if the mixture becomes sticky. Cover, and set aside in the refrigerator while you make the broth.
• Start the broth, or fumet, by heating the olive oil in a large straight-sided saute pan. Add the reserved shrimp shells, onions, garlic, and hot pepper. Saute over moderate heat for about 10 minutes until the onions have softened and the shells have turned deep pink. Add the wine and reduce until you have 1/4 to 1/3 cup left in the pan. Add 4 cups water and boil vigorously to reduce until you have about 3 cups of liquid left. Strain the fumet through a fine sieve into another large saute pan. Add the tomato and bring to a boil. Taste and add salt, if necessary. Set aside over very low heat and simmer gently while you cook the pasta.
• Bring at least 5 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Generously salt the water and drop in the spaghettini. Cook, stirring often, until the pasta is almost al dente, about 4 minutes. Drain the pasta and transfer to the fumet. Fold in the chopped shrimp and scallops along with the butter and parsley. Simmer just until the spaghettini is al dente and the seafood is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to directions without salt or oil; drain, reserving 1/4 cup cooking liquid. Place liquid in large serving bowl along with drained pasta. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat oil, add garlic and cook over medium-low 2 or 3 minutes, stirring often until softened. Stir in scallops, salt and crushed red pepper. Cook over medium 2 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until scallops are opaque in center. Remove from heat, stir in basil. Pour sauce over pasta; add margarine or butter and pine nuts and toss to mix. Serve immediately. NOTE: To toast pine nuts: Heat oven to 325 degrees.
