Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Fusilli

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the fusilli pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    In a separate pot, steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Spinach and Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Scallops

    Push the spinach to the side of the skillet and add bay scallops. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are opaque and cooked through. Season with salt and black pepper.

  5. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked fusilli, steamed cauliflower, and marinara sauce to the skillet. Toss everything together to combine and heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.

    Serve

    Plate the pasta mixture and garnish with fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
