Food for Fuel: Pasta with Scallops, Zucchini, and Tomatoes

My goodness I love Super Target! Last time I went and picked up the ingredients for the life-changing chowder, I also found a bag of Archer Farms frozen Patagonian scallops. I’ve never cooked scallops, mostly because I can never find them or if I do, they’re much too expensive. They had bay scallops too, but they were twice the price of these:

Every once in a while, I’ll see a really great-looking recipe and put it in the Google doc where I keep most of my recipes. I found this one quite a while ago, and finally got to try it last night. I used less oil, whole wheat fettucine, added some sliced kalamata olives, and threw in a chopped up Babybel Light cheese for fun. It was a wonderful, fast meal, which I need this week (or at least for the first few days of this week).
