Roasted Vegetable Dutch-Baby

Our new rental home has everything that I wanted in a kitchen – lots of storage spaces, tons of counter space, brand new appliances – We are the first tenant to be using the stove, dishwasher and the refrigerator.

The awful, uncomfortable refrigerator - the most hated item in my kitchen right now. It’s a side-by-side, stainless steel and it’s the most difficult appliance that I have ever used. And trust me, my old refrigerator was a top freezer, small thing and sometimes I wish I had that one instead of this beast.

It started with our Saturday errands run…to the supermarket… the conversation at the seafood station was short and to the point:

Me: Why don’t we buy some and treat ourselves? They are on sale.

Tom: I fire up the grilled, you melt some butter and we called it a belated Valentine’s dinner.

Me: Deal

Short and sweet this post is going to be. Just like the recipe.

Find yourself the best bay (or sea) scallops, olive oil, red pepper, parsley and bread crumbs (do not omit this ingredient, trust me)

Then set everything up, fire up your stove and go to town, in less than 10 minutes (if you use fresh pasta – like I did) you will have such a wonderful dish in your hands, that you husband (or better half) will be telling you how much he loves you all over again.
