Number Of Ingredients 9

Kosher salt
12 ounces multigrain spaghetti
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, plus more to taste
1 28-ounce can whole San Marzano tomatoes, crushed by hand
1 1-inch piece parmesan cheese rind
1 cup loosely packed fresh basil, sliced, plus more for topping
3/4 pound bay scallops

Steps:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic softens, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, parmesan rind, 1/2 cup water and half of the basil. Bring the sauce to a boil, then stir and reduce the heat to medium low; simmer 15 minutes. Season with salt. Increase the heat under the sauce to medium high, add the scallops and cook, stirring occasionally, until opaque, about 5 minutes. Remove the parmesan rind, add the remaining basil and season with salt and more red pepper flakes. Drain the pasta and add to the skillet with the sauce; toss. Divide the pasta among bowls, drizzle with olive oil and top with more basil.
