This pasta has three kinds of sweetness: the sweetness of the sea scallops, the roasted sweetness of red peppers, and the nutty sweetness of the pine nuts. All blend to make it a memorable pasta.

Ingredients

  • Salt
  • 6 to 8 ounces dried spaghetti or linguine
  • ½ cup olive oil

Method

Heat a large pot of salted water to boiling. Add the pasta and cook until al dente.
