Ingredients:

• garlic
• olive oil
• pasta
• scallops, or raw shrimp, or canned clams
• parmesan cheese
• white wine or dry sherry

Plus any combination of the following:

• calmata olives, chopped
• roasted red peppers (out of a jar) chopped
• canned or fresh sliced mushrooms
• chopped green onions
• chopped broccoli or spinach
• Italian herb blend or parsley
• cherry tomatoes halved

Preparation: While pasta is boiling, sauté garlic in olive oil. Add whatever you have on hand from the extras list.  Sauté lightly, add seafood and continue to cook until the seafood is just done, add the wine and return to a boil for a moment.  Pour over hot drained pasta.  Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

A glass of good wine and a chunk of baguette goes good.
