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 a couple of tablespoons of pesto and the linguine. Toss to coat the pasta with sauce. Spoon onto warm plates and serve. Store pesto covered in the refrigerator.

    Very good, the only thing I would add is a to soak the Bay Scallops in water for about 5min to keep there moister when cooking, as well as cutting the feet off them since cooked with the feet can cause the scallop to become rubbery.
