INGREDIENTS

8
 oz. uncooked angel hair pasta (capellini)
2
 tablespoons olive oil
3/4
 lb. fresh or frozen small scallops, thawed, drained
2
 medium tomatoes, peeled, seeded and diced
2
 garlic cloves, minced
1/4
 teaspoon salt
1/4
 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1
 cup whipping cream
1
 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
4
 oz. (1 cup) crumbled feta cheese

DIRECTIONS

1 Cook pasta as directed on package. Drain; place in large serving bowl. 2 Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add scallops, tomatoes and garlic; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook about 2 minutes or just until surface of scallops turns opaque, stirring occasionally. 3 Stir in cream and oregano. Bring just to a boil. Add to hot pasta in bowl; toss gently to mix. Sprinkle with cheese. If desired, garnish each serving with sprig of fresh oregano.
Feta is a crumbly, white, moist and tangy cheese. It hails from Greece, where it is a culinary star. Look for feta with the other cheeses - both in jars with brine and pre-crumbled.
If using large scallops, cut into halves or quarters. Be careful not to overcook scallops because they will become rubbery.
When a recipe calls for peeled and seeded tomatoes, cut out the core and score a cross in the rounded bottom of the tomato. Immerse in a pan of boiling water for 10 to 15 seconds, until the skins split. Transfer to a bowl of cold water with a slotted spoon. The skin will peel right off. To seed, cut in half crosswise and squeeze out seeds.
