2009-06-18T21:43:00.000-07:00

1 Tbsp mustard seeds

1/8 tsp black pepper

2 tsp olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups tomatoes, chopped

1 pound scallops

1 (16 ounce) box of angel hair pasta

1/4 cup low sodium, fat free chicken broth

In a large saucepan over medium heat, saute mustard seeds. Stir, moving seeds around to avoid burning the seeds. As they begin to crack or pop reduce heat, add olive oil and onions and continue to saute while stirring. Cook onions for a few minutes until tender and golden. Add garlic and continue to stir and cook a few more minutes until garlic is tender. Add tomatoes and chicken broth, simmer for 5 minutes. Rinse and pat scallops dry with a paper towel. Add scallops to sauce and increase heat to medium, cooking scallops for about 5 minutes in the sauce. In another large pan bring water to a boil and cook pasta according to package instructions until pasta is al dente. Drain and add pasta to sauce. Cook an additional minute and stir pasta to coat with sauce. Serve.
