Andy and I loved it. It was quick and easy. Not too high in calories and made the house smell wonderful!
4 ounces uncooked vermicelli
2 Tbs. butter
1/2 tsp garlic powder ( I used the jarred minced garlic and used about a tsp.)
1/4 tsp. oregano
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/2 lb. bay scallops
2 Tbsp. white wine or chicken broth ( I found it to be a good excuse to open a bottle of wine to drink while cooking)
3 Tbsp. prepared pesto

vermicelli according to package directions and drain. Meanwhile, in
large skillet, melt butter. Stir in the garlic, oregano and pepper.
Add scallops and wine or broth; cook an d stir over medium heat for 5-6

Now to get to sewing! I have two orders to fill today plus a pile of things I need to mend or embroidery to give as gifts. I also want to make one of the kitchen towels with scripture for myself! I have loved making those and everyone that has used them has said they love them. So it's about time I get to use one for myself!
