Seafood Pasta with Roasted Veggies

Seafood Pasta with Roasted Veggies

The best seafood pasta recipe with shrimp, scallops, roasted veggies and a roasted garlic cheese sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled
  • Salt + Pepper, to taste
  • Drizzle of olive oil
  • 1 box (8 ounces) gluten-free linguine (I use Banza)
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil
  • 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 8 scallops (or 16 small scallops)
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1 cup basil, chopped
  • 1 cup Manchego cheese, grated

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Arrange veggies on a large baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil, and toss to arrange in a single layer.
  3. Place the garlic cloves in the center of a small piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with olive oil, and close it into a little pouch. Place on baking sheet. Bake everything for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside. Mash the garlic into a paste.
  4. Make linguine according to packaging direction.
  5. While pasta cooks, pat shrimp and scallops dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a cast iron skillet until hot.
  6. Cook shrimp for about 2 minute per side. Remove and set aside. Cook scallops for about 2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  7. Add white wine to the pan and scrape the bottom to deglaze. Add in the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil and the roasted garlic paste. Saute for 1 minute. Add chopped basil and saute for 30 seconds, just until wilted.
  8. In a large bowl, combine pasta, veggies, shrimp, scallops, and garlic basil sauce. Season with salt and pepper and stir. Add cheese and stir once more to combine. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Make sure the scallops are very dry before you cook them. Also, make sure the pan is very hot, and that you don't touch the scallops before it's time to flip them.
  • You can also make the vegetables by sautéing them in a pan. Use any seasonal vegetables you have on hand!
