Steps

Cook the pasta in well-salted water. Save a cup of the pasta water before you drain it.
Heat the oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over high heat. Sear the scallops in one layer for 1 minute, toss, and move them to a plate. They'll finish in the sauce.
Lower the heat to medium. Add the rest of the butter, the garlic and pepper flakes. Cook until the garlic just turns gold.
Add the wine and lemon zest and simmer 2 minutes. Toss in the pasta, a splash of pasta water, and the scallops with their juices. Toss over the heat about 1 minute, until the scallops are opaque all the way through.
Finish with lemon juice and parsley. Salt and pepper to taste.
