Scallops and Broccoli Rabe

I had some beautiful broccoli rabe and was looking for a quick meal to make with it. Broccoli rabe is also known as rapini. (Pictured below)

Its been hot lately and I didn’t want anything that took a long time to cook. I found some scallops in the freezer and went with it. I sauteed an onion in some oil and while that was cooking I chopped the broccoli rabe and blanched it in a small pot of boiling water. I used a slotted spoon to get the broccoli rabe out of the water and set it aside. In the same boiling water I cooked some angel hair pasta. It only takes about 5 minutes to cook. I added the scallops to the onions in the skillet and sauteed them for a couple of minutes. I pulled the scallops and onions out of the pan. I added a little more oil and then the broccoli rabe and the hot cooked pasta to the skillet. I added some salt, pepper, a little hot sauce and some parsley. I added the scallops to the pasta mixture and stirred until heated through. Easy, fast and very tasty. About 20 minutes start to finish.
