SCALLOP PICCATA ON ANGEL HAIR PASTA
"Superfine angel hair and delicate scallops are coated with a light lemon, white wine and caper sauce. Make it a Meal: Serve with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc and Asparagus with Anchovies & Garlic." Found on Eating Well Newsletter, May/07. We made this for Live Strong Day - the sauce is very lemony just like with the veal - and it is just wonderful!
