Ingredients
- 300g linguine
- 2 x 77g packs Cooks’ Ingredients Beechwood Smoked Pancetta
- 200g pack frozen raw scallops, defrosted (or from the fish counter)
- 3 clove/s garlic, finely chopped
- 100ml dry white wine
- 25g pack flat leaf parsley, leaves roughly chopped
- 1 unwaxed lemon, zest of ½, plus juice
- 90g pack wild rocket
- Extra virgin olive oil, to serve
Method
Cook the linguine according to pack instructions. Meanwhile, fry the pancetta in a large frying pan over a medium heat for 4 minutes, or until crisp. Push to one side, then fry 4 scallops for 2 minutes each side in the pancetta fat, until caramelised, cooked through and opaque. Remove from the pan.
Add the garlic to the pancetta, stir and fry for 1 minute, then pour in the wine and allow to bubble. Slice each remaining scallop into 3 thin discs. Drain the pasta, reserving a mug of cooking water
Add the linguine, parsley, the lemon zest and half the juice to the pancetta pan. Stir over the heat, adding a splash of pasta water. Add the scallops and stir through for 1-2 minutes, until cooked through and opaque.
Dress the rocket with the remaining lemon juice and a little extra virgin olive oil. Divide the linguine between plates, top with a scallop, then serve with the rocket salad alongside.
Cook’s tip
To save time, slice all the scallops and stir through at the end instead of pan-frying some – but the caramelised flavours are worth it.
