Method for "Bacon Scallops With Portabello Parmesan Pasta" Preheat oven to 450. Wrap each scallop with 1/2 slice of bacon and secure with toothpick. Place in single layer on foil lined baking sheet with sides so grease doesn't spill. Place in oven for 15-25 minutes, depending on size

Blend parsley, oil, and salt in food processor until smooth. Pour into small bowl. (Parsley oil can be made a day ahead if refrigerated. refrigerate. Be sure to get it back to room temperature when ready to use.)
