Cast Iron seared scallops on top of spinach & basil pesto linguini...yum

So, I decided to make scallops this weekend over linguini noodles.

First you take an ounce package of basil if you don't have fresh homegrown...

Then add 5 or 6 leaves of fresh spinach...

As well as an ounce of pine nuts...

Plus a tablespoon of parmesan cheese...

...into a food processor, pulse & slowly add about a 1/4 cup of olive oil...

Meanwhile, cook about 8 ounces of linguini noodles with a pinch of salt & oil. Strain them & mix the pesto into the noodles.

Sear the scallops in a cast iron skillet with about 2 tablespoons of butter.

add some diced pablano peppers & you end up with a tasty meal!
