This simple but elegant pasta is perfect for a casual dinner party or a weeknight family meal. Use your choice of linguine: regular semolina linguine for a classic presentation, or whole wheat or gluten-free linguine or spaghetti for a rustic dish. If you like, serve the pasta with grated parmesan and crushed red chile flakes.
Ingredients
- 1 pound linguine (regular, whole wheat or gluten-free)
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil divided
- 1 red onion chopped
- 4 cloves garlic sliced
- 1 1/2 pound bay scallops side muscle removed
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Method
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add linguine and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and toss with 1 tablespoon of the oil; set aside and keep warm.
Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add scallops, salt and pepper and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes more. Stir in wine and mustard; simmer until scallops are cooked through and some liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in parsley. Transfer reserved linguine to a platter and top with scallops and sauce.
