Preparation

Step 1

Grease 13 x 9 inch baking dish.

Sauce: Heat oil in large saucepan. Add onion and garlic and cook over
medium heat until onion is almost translucent, about 2 minutes. Stir in
tomatoes, salt, crushed red pepper and black pepper, crushing tomatoes with
a fork. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer uncovered 30 minutes or
until slightly thickened.

Cook pasta and drain.

Cut shrimp in half. Melt butter in a large, deep skillet. Add shrimp and
cook over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, just until
pink. Add scallops and stir 10 seconds or just until outsides are white and
opaque. Add to pasta in bowl.

Add sauce, peas, 1/2 cup cheese and basil. Stir to mix. Spoon into baking
dish and sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Cover and bake 35 minutes. Uncover and bake 10 minutes longer until heated
through and top is lightly browned.
