While the pasta is cooking, place a pan over heat and melt the butter in it, then add the olive oil. Mix the scallops with one tablespoon of spices and add about 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Place the scallops into the oil and sear for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then cook for the same amount of time on the other side. Transfer the cooked scallops to a clean plate.

Now we place the diced onion in the pan and sauté for 3-5 minutes, then add the minced garlic. Once a pleasant garlic aroma appears, pour in the cream, add the pesto, the remaining spoonful of spice mix, and salt to taste. Mix everything together and cook the sauce for 2-3 minutes, during which time it should reduce by half in volume. Then add the scallops and cooked pasta to the sauce, and you can include a little of the pasta cooking water.
