Ingredients
- Kosher salt
- 12 ounces multigrain spaghetti
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, plus more to taste
- 1 28-ounce can whole San Marzano tomatoes, crushed by hand
- 1 1-inch piece parmesan cheese rind
- 1 cup loosely packed fresh basil, sliced, plus more for topping
- 3/4 pound bay scallops
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic softens, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, parmesan rind, 1/2 cup water and half of the basil. Bring the sauce to a boil, then stir and reduce the heat to medium low; simmer 15 minutes. Season with salt.
- Increase the heat under the sauce to medium high, add the scallops and cook, stirring occasionally, until opaque, about 5 minutes. Remove the parmesan rind, add the remaining basil and season with salt and more red pepper flakes.
- Drain the pasta and add to the skillet with the sauce; toss. Divide the pasta among bowls, drizzle with olive oil and top with more basil.

Good and very easy!
Made for my parents’ anniversary as they couldn’t go out. They loved it
Nice for a quick meal. I think the water can be omitted, too watery. I added onion. Also, used sea scallops as the store didn’t have bay scallops. I just cut them in half.
Simple, easy and delicious. Thank you.
Delicious Will make again.
This dish is so simple to make and is absolutely delicious. I did not have parmesan rind so I added a little parmesan while cooking. Other than that I did not deviate.
I am making it again tonight for company and I am confident that everyone will love it!
Loved this recipe! I added onions, green peppers and mushrooms and everyone loved it!!
Super easy, fast, and delicious!!! Added more pepper flakes and reduced sauce simmer time to coincide with pasta cook time but overall, yummy-lishish! Recommend to anyone trying to salvage their relationship/marriage :
Excellent dinner! One of my new favorites. I didn’t use the Parmesan rind but I still found it very tasty. Very easy too :
I used extra large shrimp in this dish because it was on sale. I coated my shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika to give the dish a little smoky flavor. I also added another 1/2 teaspoon to the sauce. This was very easy to put together and very yummy!! Both my husband and I loved this dish. I will certainly make it again with either the scallops or shrimp (or both combined!. I added a sprinkle of Parmesan to the the finished bowls as I did not have the rind on hand.
