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.
