PENNETTE WITH SEA SCALLOPS AND BROCCOLI FLORETS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with water and ice. Cut the florets of broccoli from the stems. Add enough salt to the boiling water so that it tastes salty.

Divide the large florets into bite-size pieces and slice the stems into thin rounds. Keep the boiling water over low heat for use later.

• When ready to serve, bring the water back to a boil. Add the pennette and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 8 minutes.
• In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring until very soft; do not let brown. Add the scallops, thyme, red pepper and paprika. Season with salt. Cook just until the scallops turn opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the broccoli and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes more.Remove from heat.
