SEARED SCALLOP PASTA WITH BURST TOMATOES AND HERBS
Although usually designated as a "something special" ingredient, scallops make a perfect weeknight dinner because they cook in minutes. To get a good, crisp sear, be patient (it's hard for us, too) and let the pan get quite hot before adding the scallops. Once you do, leave them alone to ensure a deeply golden crust. Toss them with pasta and candy-colored cherry tomatoes that burst and get coaxed into a jammy sauce. Finish with a showering of fresh, tender herbs and a drizzle of olive oil.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of well-salted water (2 heaping tablespoons kosher salt to about 7 quarts water) to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 1/2 cups pasta cooking water, then drain pasta.
- Wipe out the pot and heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium. Add the shallots and cook until they begin to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to burst, 5 to 7 minutes. Add about 1/3 cup reserved pasta water, and press the tomatoes gently with the back of a spatula or wooden spoon to get them nice and jammy. Stir in the garlic and red-pepper flakes, if using, and cook, allowing the sauce to simmer, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
- Season the scallops well on both sides with salt and pepper. In a 12-inch skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over high. When the oil shimmers, add the scallops, working in batches to avoid crowding the pan, and cook until golden brown and crisp, flipping once, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
- Add the pasta, 1 1/2 cups herbs and 1/4 cup reserved pasta water to the pot with the tomatoes and toss to coat, adding additional pasta water if needed. Divide the pasta among shallow bowls and top with scallops. Garnish with additional herbs and a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.

- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add salt and cook pasta according to package directions. Just before draining, reserve ½ cup of pasta water and drain remaining. Prepare the rest of the recipe while the pasta cooks.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and ½ tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season scallops with salt and pepper and place into skillet in a single layer. Scallops should sizzle when you put them in the skillet, if they don’t, wait for the skillet to heat longer. Sear on both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Once done, remove scallops from skillet to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Reduce heat to medium. To the same skillet, add remaining tablespoon of olive oil and 3 tablespoons butter, diced shallot, garlic and red pepper. Cook 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Pour in wine and lemon juice. Add tomatoes and artichoke hearts and cook about 5 minutes until tomatoes burst.
- Remove skillet from heat and add in scallops, pasta, and basil; toss together. If needed, thin the sauce with the pasta water, adding a little at a time.
