We like spicy foods and sometimes it is hard to give scallops some zip. This recipe does a great job at that. It is a nice balance with the pasta.

A fantastic recipe..everything was right about it! The type of pasta, the amount of heat..it was all there but not overpowering. When I served it I added some more chopped parsley and drizzled 2 tablespoons of cream over the pasta..thanks for this keeper!

I think this is the best scallop-pasta recipe I've ever tried. It's simple, yet so flavorful. The capellini is just the right size and texture to go with delicate scallops, and the chipotle and garlic give it a kick without overpowering the scallops. This is very nice for a work night, too -- doesn't take too much time. Thanks!

I was born and raised in Boston and continue to live here still. I met my hubby in 1986 and we've been together ever since. We have two children and my family is my passion. Pet peeves? Rudeness, laziness, greed, hatred, and bad manners of any kind. And for some reason, I can't stand listening to someone whistle!
