 * Fresh grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

4.Drain pasta then add to the scallops.

Tips

 * Before grating the zest, be sure to wash the outside of the lemon with warm water, a little soap then rinse thoroughly and dry with a towel. Citrus fruits are often handled by other customers and employees at the grocery store before you purchase it so washing the rind first will remove any surface dirt.
