Use fresh, high-quality sea scallops for the best flavor and texture. Be careful not to overcook the scallops, as they will become tough. Cook them just until they are opaque and slightly firm. Adjust the amount of garlic, lemon juice, and herbs to your preference. For an extra touch of richness, try adding a tablespoon of mascarpone cheese to the sauce along with the cream. Serve with a crisp white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.

01 Step
Recipe View Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add angel hair pasta and cook, uncovered, until al dente (about 4-5 minutes); drain immediately, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
02 Step
Recipe View While pasta is cooking, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant, being careful not to burn (about 1 minute).
03 Step
Recipe View If any scallops are thicker than 3/4 inch, slice them horizontally to ensure even cooking.
04 Step
Recipe View Add the scallops, fresh basil, and parsley to the skillet. Cook, gently stirring, until scallops are opaque and slightly firm when pressed (about 2-3 minutes). Overcooking will result in rubbery scallops.
05 Step
Recipe View Reduce heat to low. Stir in fresh lemon juice and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. If desired, add heavy cream for a richer sauce and simmer gently until slightly thickened (about 1-2 minutes). Add a splash of the reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
06 Step
Recipe View Toss the hot, drained angel hair pasta with the scallop sauce, ensuring every strand is coated. Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.
