This Sautéed Scallops and Mushrooms with Pine Nuts recipe is your ticket to a delicious, dairy-free dinner that's ready in under 45 minutes. Imagine tender sea scallops, perfectly seared and nestled amongst earthy mushrooms and crunchy, toasted pine nuts.

What I love most about this recipe is its versatility. It's elegant enough for a special occasion yet simple enough for a weeknight dinner solution. The star of the show, the scallops, are cooked to perfection so they are tender and juicy. This prevents them from becoming rubbery which is a common mistake. The pine nuts add a delightful textural contrast and nutty flavor that elevates the whole dish. Plus, it's served over a bed of light angel hair pasta, soaking up all that delicious sauce.
