INGREDIENTS
  • Servings: 4
  • * 12 ounce pappardelle or other favorite pasta
  • * 1 tablespoon olive oil

  3. Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in medium-size skillet, heat oil until hot but not smoking; sauté scallops until cooked through, about 2 minutes on each side.
  5. Remove scallops from pan. Add garlic; cook 1 minute. Add wine; cook until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Stir in butter. Add spinach and tomatoes.
