Follow The Directions

01

Step

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add linguine and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 9-10 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water, then drain.

02

Step

In the same pot, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add grape tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to burst, about 5-7 minutes. Crush some tomatoes with the back of a spoon. Stir in white wine, Kalamata olives, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes.

03

Step

Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bay scallops in a single layer and sear for 1 minute without moving. Gently flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until firm and opaque. Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Be careful not to overcook the scallops.

04

Step

Add the cooked linguine to the tomato mixture and toss to coat. If needed, add reserved pasta water to achieve desired consistency. Divide the pasta among 4 shallow bowls and top with seared scallops. Drizzle with extra olive oil, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the tomato sauce before serving.
Fresh basil can be used instead of parsley, or use both!
If you don't have Kalamata olives, black olives work too. Just try to get pitted ones.
Serve with crusty bread to soak up all that delicious sauce.
