Date Night BUMP-cipe

We aren't really big Valentine's Day people because we feel that the love is everyday. No box of chocolates or flowers will change that. It's Friday and I am really feeling unpretty. Just down for some reason. Probably because that pencil skirt that I have loved, I can't put on. I really want to go to the gym and tone my booty but there's this child in my belly that is making it impossible. So I have to work around it and trust me, I have. With the help of Publix seafood and their great selection of healthy and organic viddles, all things are right with the universe.  Once again, you don't have to be with child to make this dish and you can just have fun with the veggies but I needed the mushrooms. 

Date Night BUMP-CIPE!!!

Bay Scallops with Pesto Pasta

Ingredients
ready made pesto ( or you can make yours, I don't have a food processor so the one in the pasta section works good
1 lb Bay Scallops
1/2 cup of crushed walnuts
1 cup of grated Romano Parmesan Cheese
8 oz package of wheat angel hair pasta
2 cups of sliced portobella mushrooms
white cooking wine
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Kosher Salt
Black Pepper

1. Boil 8 cups of water. Add some Kosher Salt.  Add noodles and let them cook until al dente.  Set aside and keep on warm.
2.  add 3 tablespoons of olive oil and white cooking wine to a hot skillet.  Then add all the mushrooms and bay scallops.  Season to taste. I just used the kosher salt and black pepper because the pesto is gonna kick it up a notch.  
3.  Once the scallops have turned an opaque color and the vegetables are tender, (this should only take about 2 to 3 minutes) then add the Pesto. Turn the heat down on the stove as well. You don't want to overcook the scallops. Add as much as you desire. I had a small jar so I just used the whole thing.
4. After you have the scallops and mushroom mix fully covered with the pesto, you can add your Parmesan cheese and you walnuts.  
5. Serve and finish off with a nice Gelato. 

This meal should take you approximately 25 minutes to prep and cook.  AND DON'T FORGET THE BREAD!!! I forgot the bread and I so wish that I had it because that sauce was really amazing.  

You guys try it and let me know what you think. Post your reviews to this article.

Thanks so much and ENJOY!!!!
