Scallops in Creamy Basil Sauce

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons basil pesto
  • ½ teaspoon roasted garlic
  • 1 lb sea scallops (thawed, if needed)
  • 1 cup Alfredo sauce
  • 8 ounces angel hair pasta

Steps

  1. Fill large saucepan ½ full of water. Cover and bring to a boil on high for pasta.
  2. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2-3 minutes. Place olive oil, pesto, and garlic in pan. (Pan should sizzle.) Stir in scallops; cook 3-5 minutes, stirring often, or just until they turn milky white (or opaque) and firm. Be careful not to overcook.
  3. Stir in Alfredo sauce. Reduce to low; simmer 2 minutes or until sauce is thoroughly heated. Remove from heat and let stand until ready to serve.
  4. Stir pasta into boiling water. Boil 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until tender.
  5. Drain pasta thoroughly. Serve scallops and sauce over pasta.
