  • “Yummy yummy yummy…If not a wee bit basic.I used regular old salt-filled ingreds, and it was a hit with the fam.Good stuff!”

  • “Delicious & healthy–how can you lose!!Didn’t want to pay the price for shallots so I used the white of green onions.Also used the diced canned tomatoes and sauteed some fresh mushrooms as suggested by others.Fantastic Mille, thanks for sharing!”

  • “This recipe was very tasty, and very simple to make.The only thing I do is add a little bit of corn starch to the scallop mixture to make it a bit creamier.”

  • “Made this tonight for dinner – very good!!We think next time we will drain the tomatoes as it seemed to make it a little watery.Maybe add some parmesean cheese…”

  • “This recipe definitely deserves 5 stars for ease!I added some chopped bacon to the garlic & shallots, and followed the rest of the recipe exactly.Thank you so much for a wonderful post that I will certainly use many times!”

  • “nice simple fare with a great taste.I threw in a splash of white wine at the end and served it over whole wheat linguine with a grate of Reggiano on top.Really nice.Thanks Mille”

  • “This was excellent!It even got 5 stars from my husband which is no easy feat!Super simple to throw together on a busy night, or gourmet enough to serve to guests.I used diced tomatoes with garlic and onion in them, and for the tomato sauce I used one with basil and oregano in it.Otherwise I made as stated.The scallops just melt in your mouth!Next time I might try some of the additions others have mentioned in their reviews.”

  • “Simply fabulous. I added crimini mushrooms and a squeeze of lime over the bowl of pasta/scallop mix. I wish I had some salad for it, but I enjoyed it with a piece of french bread and a glass of cabernet sauvignon. I also used bay scallops instead of sea scallops.”

  • “This was delicious. I also added some mushrooms and cut back just a bit on the basil. My husband said it was every bit as good as anything you could get at an Italian restaurant!”

  • “Added mushrooms.”

  • “I added fresh mushrooms and shrimp.This dish tasted amazing, and it was very easy!!”

  • “This recipe is simple, quick, tasty, healthy & GREAT!!Lots of good flavour. I added a bit more red pepper flakes because I like things spicy.As good or better than anything you would find in a nice Italian restaurant.”

  • “Very good.I added some mushrooms and some grated carrots to the sauce.I think this would be really good with a mix of shrimp and scallops.My DH says this is a repeater.Thanks for posting.I did use regular salt.”
