20 large scallops
12 ounces whole wheat pasta (whatever type you like)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
3 garlic cloves, diced
1 onion, diced
2 tomatoes, finely chopped
2 cups white wine, your choice
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1/2 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon sea salt (or to your taste)
1 teaspoon pepper (or to your taste)

1
Prepare the pasta al dente (cook in boiling water for 9 minutes). Sprinkle and toss with a little olive oil and set aside in a pasta dish.
2
Dry each scallop thoroughly and season with salt and pepper.
3
Warm the olive oil in a frying pan on a high heat.
4
Evenly space the scallops and cook for 2 minutes on one side. If are using a smaller size pan, you may have to do two or three batches.
5
After 2 minutes, flip the scallops and continue cooking them for an additional 1-2 minutes, then immediately remove them from the pan.
6
Add the butter and onions to the pan and saute the onions until they are tender, then add the garlic and tomatoes.
7
Add the white wine and stir to form a sauce then season with salt and pepper.
8
Coat the pasta with the sauce and add scallops.
9
Sprinkle with the herbs, add a couple of dashes of lemon juice and serve. I also like to add some crushed red pepper or crushed chipotle pepper but that is your call.
