The 7 Day Detox Diet - Fettuccine in Herbed Garlic Olive Oil with Seared Scallops

Fettuccine in Herbed Garlic Olive Oil with Seared Scallops

Ingredients:

To prepare:

First, you need to get started on boiling the pasta. In a pot large enough to cover the pasta, bring salted water to a boil. Remember, there should be ten parts water to one part pasta. Let the pasta cook until it is al dente while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

While the pasta is cooking, you can sear the scallops. In a pan, drizzle some or vegetable oil and bring the heat up to full. Place the scallops down on one side until it is dark brown. Turn it over to sear the other side. When both sides have been seared, set aside.

Chop the parsley, basil, and garlic.

Don’t forget about the pasta. When it’s done, remove from the water but save some of the pasta water for later.

In a pan on medium heat, drizzle some of the olive oil and sauté the garlic. Add the basil and parsley and sauté. Then add the pasta and toss until it is completely covered with the olive oil and herbs. Toss in a tablespoon or two of the pasta water and continue tossing. Add the scallops before you season the mixture to taste with salt and pepper.
