1
Cook the Capellini
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the capellini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2
Sear the Scallops
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the scallops with salt and black pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the scallops and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3
Prepare the Pistachio Sauce
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the chopped pistachios and lemon juice, stirring well to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
4
Combine and Serve
Add the cooked capellini and scallops to the skillet, tossing everything together gently. Add fresh parsley and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately.
