Pan Seared Sea Scallops with Basil Pesto Pasta

Pan Seared Sea Scallops with Basil Pesto Pasta.

Fill my pasta bowl with capellini tossed in fresh Basil Pesto and I am one happy camper.  Top it with pan seared scallops and I’m liable to do a back flip.  Something I’d regret in the morning. Continue reading »
