The reviewer gave this recipe 4 stars. This recipe averages a 4.51 star rating.

This was a quick, easy and visually appealing dish I will definitely make again. I used the zucchini, Roma tomatoes and basil from my garden. After reading the reviews, I added garlic, onion and white wine, because I can't imagine pasta without it. I also think this would be equally as good with shrimp or chicken breast, depending on what you have on hand.

This was excellent. I had to make some changes to go with items I had. I added diced red pepper,and a small bottle of marinated artichoke hearts, and I cut up tomatoes (regular fresh tomato) and left off the zucchini as I didn't have any. Followed the rest of recipe and it was so good I couldn't believe it. I will be making this many more times as it was easy and quick to make expecially if you have unexpected company. Made a salad to accompany the meal.

This tasted like 10 stars when I was done with it, but in all fairness I'll give it a 4 since I made so many changes. I didn't have garlic in the house (I freak out when that happens) so I sauteed half an onion with a bit of garlic salt instead. I used shrimp instead of scallops. I used fresh parsley as well as basil. I added a splash of white wine and a spoon of pesto. It was incredible. My husband loved it and he doesn't even like tomatoes, onions, or zucchini very much. So I did make a lot of changes, but this recipe has GREAT bones, and I would highly recommend that you try it and feel free to improvise.

I used whole wheat angel hair pasta and ground black pepper instead of crushed red pepper flakes. Used the dried basil and didn't measure anything. It was good.

This recipe is AMAZING!!! I have made it several time for family and friend, and all have LOVED it... It's healthy and delicious at the same time! I use the frozen, smaller version of scallops (sea scallops I think) and they work just as well. Lovely!

I used 1 lb. of bay scallops and added about 1/2 lb. of med. shrimp. I also used whole wheat thin spaghetti. I tried the other suggestions with 1/2 cup of white wine, and I used 2 T. of butter with 2 T. EVOO. 1/4 cup of EVOO is not necessary. I also cut the red pepper flakes to a heaping 1/4 t. b/c I knew 1/2 t. was too much for my guest. I didn't have fresh basil so I used 1 T. of dried that I crushed in my palms. We thought it was delicious with these changes which were minor.

Wow this recipe I will make over and over, it was fantastic. I used a can of diced tomatoes instead of fresh and it turned out great.

I love scallops and this receipte was very good. I loved it. Very light and tasty. I didn't even make the pasta. I ate it as is and it was delicious. Would definitely make it again and would try different seasfood to simulate the same flavor. Excellent taste.

Really delicious. Don't be shy about adding a little more flavor, some more garlic.. add some freshly ground black pepper too. It certainly doesn't need a pound of pasta. I used 1/2 box and it was more than enough. For a healthier option, use whole wheat fettuccine or spaghetti. It adds flavor to the meal. I used sea scallops instead of bay scallops (what the store had, and my personal preference) and they were great. I just chopped them up into smaller, bite-sized pieces. My mom and sister loved it so much, they kept my copy of the recipe and make it all the time.

This is a pretty good recipe. I have to hands down give my Venetian's friend's scallops a five compared to this one. I agree with reviewers that it needed more flavor. I added some fresh onion to the mix with the garlic and some white wine as suggested.

I made this for dinner tonight with a few modifications... First, when I added the tomatoes and basil, I threw in about 1/2 cup of the white wine I was going to have with dinner. Also, I had huge, beautiful sea scallops that I pan fried separately (dust of flour, pan fry in medium-hot oil, baste with oil and melted butter) and then added individually on top of each plate. Top with a little grated romano, and voila! A wonderful dish that used local, summer-ripened vegetables. I will definitely make this again!

Great recipe! I made a few changes by substituting sea scallops (which I cut up) as well as adding fresh broccoli. We also use a different pasta such as rotelle. All in all, you can definitely experiment as it's tough to mess this up. Enjoy!

Superb recipe. I added spring onions but didn't have any white wine (I'm trying that tonight). But I did pan fry the scallops. This is the real way to cook scallops and it made them taste amazing.

This was really yummy and healthy! I used whole wheat fettucini. I even made an extra dish without red pepper, garlic, and basil for my 13 month old. He loved it, scallops and all! I think next time I'll add more tomatoes.
