Ingredients
- 8 oz. whole-wheat angel hair pasta
- ½ cup white wine
- ½ cup clam juice
- 2 tsp. cornstarch
- 1 lb. dry sea scallops, tough muscle removed

- ¼ tsp. pepper
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- ¼ cup chopped garlic
- 3 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp. chopped capers

Directions
- Cook pasta according to package directions.
- While pasta is cooking, whisk together wine, clam juice, and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
