Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the black linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2

Make the Marinara Sauce

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, salt, and black pepper. Let it simmer for 10 minutes.

3

Add Basil

Stir in the chopped fresh basil into the marinara sauce and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

4

Cook the Scallops

In a separate pan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the scallops and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

5

Combine Everything

Gently toss the cooked black linguine into the marinara sauce until well coated. Add the scallops on top and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese before serving.
