Servings: persons

3/4 pound fresh sea scallops
top quality extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup Italian-herbed bread crumbs
2 portions angel hair pasta (cappellini)
2 large cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 to 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, to taste
salt, to taste
the juice of one good-sized lemon
2 cups baby spinach leaves, cut into strips if desired

1
Rinse and dry the scallops.
2
Start lightly salted water heating for the pasta. Brown breadcrumbs in 2 Tbsp olive oil; set aside.
3
When the water is boiling, add the pasta. As the pasta cooks, heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large stir-fry pan. Lightly brown 1 minced clove of garlic, then add half the chopped parsley, the red pepper flakes, and a little salt. When pasta is cooked al dente (about 5 minutes), drain and add to stir-fry pan and toss together with sauce. Keep warm.
4
Put 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet and heat until very hot; add another minced clove of garlic and the scallops, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes. Add the rest of the parsley, sprinkle with the lemon juice and cook another 2-3 minutes, turning often, until the scallops are just about cooked (they will appear opaque instead of translucent). Add the spinach and stir until wilted.
5
Place pasta on plates, top with the scallop/spinach mixture, and sprinkle with toasted bread crumbs.
