Ingredients

Method

In large saucepan, heat 1 tbsp of the oil over medium heat; cook onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add squash and broth; bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until squash is tender, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in large skillet, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat; cook sage leaves until crisp, about 30 seconds. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate; set aside. In same pan, cook scallops, turning once, until golden and opaque, about 4 minutes. Keep warm.

In food processor or blender, purée squash mixture. Mix in orange zest. Season with salt and pepper. Divide squash purée among plates. Serve with reserved scallops. Sprinkle with pepper; garnish with sage leaves. Sprinkle with pine nuts (if using).
