Ingredients

  • 3 cups fresh, cleaned basil leaves
  • 2 cups fresh cleaned flat-leaf parsley
  • 3 cups chopped walnuts
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan
  • 3 cups extra virgin olive oil, plus 3 tablespoons
  • 1 pound bay scallops
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup sliced zucchini
  • Kosher salt
  • 8 ounces linguine

Directions

Combine the basil, parsley, walnuts, and cheese in a food processor or mortar. Pulse or grind gradually adding the 3 cups olive oil until the mixture forms a paste.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the linguine and cook until it is al dente, about 8 minutes; drain and reserve.

Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the scallops, mushrooms, and zucchini and cook until the vegetables are tender and the scallops are opaque, about 2 minutes. Add the pesto and the linguine. Toss to coat the pasta with sauce. Spoon onto warm plates and serve.

    The pesto sauce has way too much oil, all the other flavors are lost in the oil. The entire meal was a waste.

    I used pesto I had made a couple of weeks ago, that was in the freezer.
    Could have used more garlic.
    Quick and tastey!

    We absolutely LOVED this recipe! The pesto is perfect, a little oily so I'd recommend using less next time. Other than that, this is now one of our favorite all-time recipes! Enjoy! =
