Yeah, your scallops embarrass mine. Not to mention all the rest.  Bravo!

All of that looks outstanding.

That looks excellent. This would be a perfect meal for me because I am the only one in my family who eats scallops so they would all go on my plate.

And this appears to be the same without the paywall. At least they do credit the Times at the bottom. Looks delicious!

A few tips:

Read the reviews vis-a-vis the order of preparation.

You want to start the sauce once you drop the pasta.

Use less pasta than it called for. 

I used about 3/4 lb but didn't use it all. Eyeball it.

Sear the scallops is a separate pan. Cast Iron in my case. Have it on a low flame so it won't take long to get it nuclear for the fast sear of the scallops.

Save about 2 cups of the pasta water and use as needed. I needed more than called for but I don't measure. I just added as I saw fit.

FFS, don't put cheese on this dish!

I used tarragon, mint, chives and parsley.

The sauce and pasta is PFG on it's own if you don't like scallops.

My thoughts exactly. A most excellent sear.
