-

1 tsp fresh thyme
-
3 1/2 cups dry penne

4 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes in oil drained and thinly sliced
-
4 fresh oregano or thyme, sprigs

2 tsp balsamic vinegar
-
1 tsp tomato paste
-
1 tsp white sugar

Recipe Method
1- Rinse the scallops and pat dry on paper towels. Place in a bowl and add the
olive oil, crushed
garlic and
thyme. Cover with
plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until ready to cook.
2- Bring a large pan of lightly salted water to a rolling bowl. Add the penne and cook according to the package directions.
3- Meanwhile, make the dressing. Place the sun-dried tomatoes in a small bowl. Add the vinegars, tomato paste, sugar, salt and pepper. Whisk well and then pour into a food processor.
4- With the motor running, pour in the oils in a steady stream to make a thick, smooth dressing.
5- Preheat a large, heavy pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Cook the scallops for 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan.
6- Drain the pasta and return to the pan. Add the sliced sun-dried tomatoes and dressing and toss. Top each portion with 4 scallops, garnish with fresh thyme or oregano sprigs and serve.
