Preparation

Step 1

Saute scallions in butter and olive oil until tender. Stir in wine, basil, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce heat.
Cook 12-15 minutes or until 2/3 of the liquid evaporates.
Add scallops and simmer for 5 minutes or until tender. If you are using large scallops, cut them in half to make 2 "pucks" that will cook more evenly and be easier to eat. Do not overcook.
Cook pasta and put on plate with a drizzle of olive oil. Add scallop mixture and sprinkle with hard grated cheese.
