Ingredients (4 Servings)

  • 1 lb Sea Scallops Large
  • Sea Salt
  • Black Pepper Freshly Ground
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • 12 Stick Butter For Cream Sauce
  • 1 Cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 Pinch White Pepper
  • 34 lb Tagliatelle
  • 3 Tablespoons Chive Minced
  • 12 Cup Parmesan cheese

Preparation

  • Sprinkle each scallop with salt and freshly ground pepper. In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat.
  • Add the scallops and cook without moving until the bottoms are golden-brown, about 3 minutes. Turn and repeat for the other side.
  • Reduce heat to low, cover the pan, and cook until the insides are just opaque and cooked through, about 2-4 minutes longer. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat. When boiling, add 2 tablespoons salt.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the half-stick butter and cream and warm without boiling. Slowly add the parmesan while stirring with a wooden spoon until the sauce is thickened, about 2 minutes. Add salt and white pepper to taste, and set aside.
  • Boil the pasta as recommended on the package until al dente. Using tongs or a pasta fork, transfer the pasta to the cream sauce and stir to combine.
  • Plate the pasta with one or two seared scallops on top, sprinkle with fresh chives, and serve.
