Preparation
Step 1
Heat 1 T. EVOO in large skillet, then add shallot, garlic and red pepper flakes and saute for 3-4 minutes. Add chopped tomatoes with juice and raise heat before you add wine. When skillet is very hot, add white wine and reduce by 1/2 - 3-4 minutes. Then add clam juice and do the same. Then add cream and tomato paste. Simmer over low heat until sauce has reduced and thickened, about 5 minutes, then add fresh herbs, reserving some for garnish. Season well with salt & pepper.
Meanwhile, cook pasta in boiling salted water and drain, reserving about 1 cup of pasta water just in case.
Season scallops with Essence and lightly salt. In a small skillet, heat 1 T. butter and 1 T. EVOO, then add scallops when pan is well-heated. Saute, turning once, for approx. 2 minutes per side.
Toss pasta into sauce skillet and allow to cook for 1 minute together, adding pasta water if needed to create creamy sauce. Add Parmesan and stir through.
Mound pasta on plates and top with 3 scallops per person, reserved herbs and more Parmesan. Serve immediately.
