Scallops and Tomatoes over Angel Hair

Love scallops, love angel hair. Tossed over pasta, what can go wrong?

INGREDIENTS:

1-2 TBS olive oil

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 tsp thyme

1 TBS flour

Salt and pepper to taste

1 ½ lbs. bay scallops

¼ cup dry white wine

2 cups fresh tomatoes, chopped

¼ cup parsley, chopped

2/3 cup ripe olive, chopped

1 lb. angel hair pasta

DIRECTIONS:

Heat oil in skillet and brown garlic (do not burn!). Add thyme, flour, salt and pepper, stirring constantly. Add scallops and tomatoes. Cook until scallops are done. Add wine, parsley and olives and heat several more minutes.

Serve over pasta.

VERDICT:

There was nothing really wrong with this recipe, but it just wasn't the greatest. The flavor of the thyme was really strong. But then again the recipe didn't specify fresh or dried, and I used dried. Maybe it was too much?

Anyways, it was just an "eh" dish. If you have any suggestions for making it a "wow!" dish, please leave your ideas in the comments.
