Balsamic Tomatoes and Cannellini Beans with Soba Noodles and Seared Scallops

Bring a pot of water to boil for the noodles. Cook according to package instructions.

While the noodles cook, toss together the tomatoes, beans, garlic, basil, olive oil and vinegar in a large bowl. Once your noodles and drained and rinsed under cool water, add to the bowl and toss combine. Season with salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese.

In a large skillet, heat the butter on medium high heat. Once the butter is sizzling, add the scallops, spacing them evenly throughout the pan.

Don’t touch them for a solid 90 seconds. Flip them. The first side should be a nice crispy seared brown. Cook on the other side for another 60 seconds.

Remove from heat. Put the pasta in serving dishes and top with scallops.
