Preparing a pasta dish like they do in a restaurant

I have to admit that whenever I see U-10 scallops at the store, I have to buy them.  For this dinner I went very simple with a white wine, butter and garlic sauce over the noodles paired with kale and the scallops.

If you have the pans to do it, and want to make your pasta like they do in a restaurant, you'll want to use one saute pan per portion that you are preparing.  Start a pot of water boiling on a back burner, and then heat up your saute pans (I used two in this instance since it was just Shells and I for dinner) on the front burners.

Once your pans are warm add a little olive oil to each saute pan and then start cooking the kale until it has cooked down a bit (about 5-7 minutes).  You'll want to time your pasta cooking to finish just as the scallops do, for this instance I needed 6 minutes so I put the pasta into the pot of boiling water just before starting the scallops..

Next add a dollop of butter to each saute pan and then add the scallops.  I cooked these for about 3 minutes per side.once I flipped the scallops I added the chopped garlic (I used pre-roasted garlic) and white wine.  After three more minutes I removed both pans from heat, drained the pasta, and then added some butter to each pan, stirring to make the sauce.  I added the portion of pasta to each pan and then used tongs to mix everything together and then slide the whole bit right from the pan onto each plate.

Try and enjoy!
