A delightful pasta dish featuring a rich tomato-seafood sauce served over garlic butter pasta.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Using extra virgin olive oil enhances the flavor of the sauce.
Add the chopped onion, diced bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet.
Cook until the vegetables are tender and aromatic.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and oregano, and season with salt and pepper.
Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil to blend the flavors.
Reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Add the scallops to the sauce and cook for 3 minutes.
Ensure the scallops are cooked through but not overdone.
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, then drain.
Reserve a bit of pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency if needed.
In a separate pan, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
Do not brown the garlic to avoid bitterness.
Toss the cooked pasta in the garlic butter.
Ensure the pasta is evenly coated for the best flavor.
Serve the garlic butter pasta topped with the tomato-seafood sauce.
Garnish with grated parmesan cheese for added flavor.
