Roasted criminis are an easy and inexpensive way to add maximum flavor to a dish. Sauteeing them like this until they are well caramelized is the key. The combination of the umami flavor in the mushrooms, the sweetness of the scallops and the richness of the olives combines well with the pasta for a great salad.

8 ounces | crimini mushrooms (sliced) |
3 quarts | water |
4 ounces | whole wheat or gluten free penne pasta |

1 tsp | dried rosemary (or 1 Tbsp. fresh) |
1 medium | zucchini (cut into large dice) |

Place a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Spray lightly with olive oil and add the mushrooms. Cook, tossing frequently, until well browned.
While the mushrooms are cooking place the water in a large sauce pan over high heat. When the water boils add the penne. Cook until al dente, drain and add to a large mixing bowl. Add 3 teaspoons of the olive oil and toss well. Place in refrigerator.
When the mushrooms are done add them to the penne and toss well.
Place the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil in the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium and add the rosemary. Cook for about one minute and add the zucchini. Cook, tossing frequently, for about 3 - 4 minutes and add them to the penne and mushrooms. Toss well.
Add the celery, green olives, salt and pepper and toss well.
Place the pan back on the range and increase the heat to medium-high. Spray the pan lightly with olive oil and place the sea scallops in the pan to sear. Cook for about 4 - 5 minutes on each side. Remove to a cutting board and let cool slightly. Cut each scallop into eighths and add to the salad.
Toss well and chill.
