Sun Dried Tomato & Scallop Pasta
Sun Dried Tomato & Scallop Pasta is an easy to make yet incredibly delicious weeknight meal. It’s a recipe that sounds like you ordered if from a local restaurant when in fact you whipped it up in no time at home. I think scallops pair well with a cream sauce and pasta so it’s the perfect combination. The pasta is tender and coated in a lovely mozzarella, sun dried tomato sauce. The scallops have a nice sear and good texture. And there is good heat from the red pepper flakes. The best way to cook scallops is to sear them on the stovetop in a skillet with some oil or butter. You want a golden crust on the top and bottom and the inside to have a soft texture. You can use fresh or frozen scallops. I tend to use frozen so I don’t have to worry about cooking them so soon after purchasing but you will have to ensure … Continue reading

Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Pasta with Shrimp
Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Pasta with Shrimp is an Italian inspired seafood pasta recipe. It’s decadent, easy, and you’ll love it! I’m always looking for an excuse to use sun dried tomatoes. I love the sweet yet tart flavor and the chewy texture. They add some incredible flavor to any dish, especially when you use some of the oil from the jar to sauté other items vs traditional olive oil. It’s a great combination of tender shrimp, creamy sauce, and sun-dried tomatoes in every bite. The recipe can be found here. Start by bringing a pot of water to a boil. Cook the noodles according to package instructions. I like to use fettuccini noodles, but any noodle shape will work just fine. Reserve ½ cup of the pasta water before draining. Then drain the noodles and set aside. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. I suggest using the … Continue reading

Creamy Hummus Pasta with Sun Dried Tomatoes
Creamy Hummus Pasta with Sun Dried Tomatoes is something we tried recently. We both like pasta and we both like hummus, so why not try them together, right? It’s savory, delicious, and light. You’ll be satisfied without the heavy feeling of being too full. The hummus replaces traditional pasta sauce, so you have a creamy and slightly nutty flavored sauce. The sun dried tomatoes are roasted with garlic so they are tender and give off great flavor. This recipe is a winner in our house! The recipe can be found here. Start by bringing a large pot of water to a boil and cooking the pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining, then set the reserved water and noodles aside. In a large skillet, heat the sun dried tomato oil over medium heat. Add the sun dried tomatoes and garlic, and sauté for about … Continue reading
