  • 8 cloves garlic
  • ¼ bunch fresh Italian parsley
  • 2 anchovy fillets
  • ½ cup pitted Kalamata olives
  • ½ cup pitted Castelvetrano (or green) olives
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped Calabrian peppers
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • ¼ cup dry white wine (or chicken stock)

  • 1 (28 oz) can peeled tomatoes
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 16 oz bucatini (or spaghetti) pasta

Steps

    1. Thaw scallops if needed. Bring water to a boil for pasta. Chop onion, garlic, parsley, and anchovies finely. Halve all olives.
    2. Heat oil in large sauté pan on medium 2–3 minutes. Add onions, garlic, anchovies, and chili relish. Cook 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables soften and anchovies dissolve.
    3. Stir in tomato paste. Cook and stir 2–3 minutes. Stir in wine; simmer 2–3 minutes until liquid has mostly evaporated. Stir in capers and all olives; cook 1 minute.
    4. Stir in salt, pepper, and tomatoes (do not drain), using spoon to break up tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in scallops and cook 5 minutes until scallops are opaque and firm.
    5. Meanwhile, cook and drain pasta following package instructions. Add pasta to sauce and stir to coat. Divide pasta among serving plates. Top with parsley and Parmesan, if using; serve.
