Spaghetti with Spicy Scallop Marinara Sauce

I had some things to work with and came up with this. Found a good use for some leftover Parmesean Rind.

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic softens, about 1 minute

Add the tomatoes, Parmesan rind, 1/4 cup water, and half of the basil

Bring the sauce to a boil, mash the tomatoes while stirring. Reduce the heat to medium-low; simmer 15 minutes until most of the juice is evaporated. Season with salt

* Step 4

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until desired

Increase the heat to medium-high, add the scallops and cook, stirring occasionally, until opaque, about 5 minutes

* Step 6

Remove the Parmesan rind, add the remaining basil, and season with salt and more red pepper flakes, if desired

* Step 7

Drain the pasta and add to the skillet with the sauce; toss. Divide the pasta among bowls, drizzle with olive oil and top with more basil. Serve with some Italian bread
