Bacon-Wrapped Scallops on Angel Hair Pasta
Makes 1 serving
Ingredients
1 reduced-sodium bacon slice, cut crosswise into thirds
3 sea scallops (2 ounces)
2 ounces uncooked angel hair pasta
1 tablespoon reduced-fat margarine
2 green onions with tops, sliced
1 small clove garlic, minced
Black pepper or garlic pepper, to taste
1. Wrap one bacon piece around each scallop; secure with toothpick.
2. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain pasta; return to pan.
3. Meanwhile, heat small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add scallops; cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until bacon is crisp and scallops are opaque. Remove scallops from skillet; discard toothpicks. Reduce heat to low.
4. Melt margarine in same skillet.* Add onion and garlic; cook and stir 1 minute or until onion is tender. Remove from heat.
5. Add onion mixture to pasta; toss lightly. Place on serving plate. Top with scallops. Season with pepper.
*If there are enough drippings in the skillet after the bacon is cooked, you may not need the margarine for cooking the onion and garlic. Without the margarine, calories are 245, total fat is 4 grams and the percentage of fat is 15.
