1

Prepare the pesto sauce by adding basil, parmesan cheese, garlic, olive oil, and salt into a food processor.

Blend until finely chopped, scraping down the sides as needed.

If the mixture doesn't blend well, stir it with a spoon and continue blending.

Once blended, transfer the pesto sauce to a bowl and set aside.

5

Boil water in a pot until it reaches a rolling boil, then add a pinch of salt.

Add spaghetti to the boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes for al dente texture.

While the pasta cooks, season the scallops with salt and black pepper.

8

Heat a pan over medium heat and spray with Extra Light Olive Oil.

9

Once the pan is hot, add the scallops and cook until the surface is cooked, then flip them over.

10

Remove the cooked scallops from the pan and set aside.

11

In the same pan, spray with olive oil again and add minced garlic and dried chili, sauté until fragrant.

For one serving, use about 100 grams of spaghetti and 4-5 tablespoons of pesto sauce.
