Not me making myself a 5-star dinner for a FaceTime date night 🤭 My boyfriend and I have been doing FaceTime dinners for the past 3.5 years, and it’s something we always look forward to. For this one, I went all out with brown butter + sage scallops over angel hair pasta❤️ It looks fancy, but it’s so simple to pull together. Here’s how I made mine, single-serve: 🍴 Brown Butter & Sage Scallops with Angel Hair (for one): * 1 serving angel hair pasta (about 2 oz) * 1 tbsp butter * 1⁄4 cup white wine * 1⁄2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved * 2 tbsp fresh basil (plus 2 leaves for garnish) * 7 scallops, patted dry * 1 tbsp butter (for searing scallops) * 1 garlic clove, minced * 1⁄2 tsp ground sage * Salt + pepper Instructions: 1. Cook pasta in salted water until al dente. 2. In a pan, melt 1 tbsp butter with white wine, then add tomatoes + 2 tbsp fresh basil. Let simmer until tomatoes soften. 3. In a separate pan, melt 1 tbsp butter until browned. Season scallops with salt, pepper, and ground sage. Add garlic to the butter, then sear scallops a few minutes per side until golden. 4. Toss pasta with the tomato-basil sauce, top with scallops, and drizzle over the remaining brown butter + garlic from the pan. Garnish with basil. It was buttery, garlicky, and honestly felt like a restaurant dinner I made in under 30 minutes. #longdistancedateidea #easydinnerideas #scallops #dinnerdateathome #30minutemeals
