This has become a favorite in our household. I pretty much created this myself because we have too many tomatoes in our garden so I needed to come up with more food ideas to include tomatoes. This turned out amazing and has been a favorite since! I usually use shrimp but this time I had scallops. You can also use chicken, which ever you prefer.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound Scallops (or you can use shrimp or chicken)
• 12oz spaghetti pasta
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 5 cloves of garlic
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley (or basil)
• half stick of butter
• 1 large tomatoe(or 2 medium tomatoes) chopped
• splash of olive oil
• 1/4 cup of chicken stock
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• salt and pepper to taste
• (optional) grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:

In a sauté pan heat up a splash of olive oil till almost smoking. You’re going to want to sear the scallops on both sides really well in the pan. In a pot boil some water and salt. Add pasta and cook as package instructed. Once both sides of scallops are seared to a golden brown color, take them out and put on a plate and reserve for later. In that same pan you’re going to add the butter and garlic and mix for 30 sec. Then add in the chopped tomatoes and mix for another minute. Now time to add the white wine and let simmer till alcohol is evaporated and sauce is reduced by half. Then add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer and let it reduce again. After the sauce reduced a bit more and thickened a little, you can add the parsley and mix. At this point you want to taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper as much or as little as you desire. Turn the stove off and add heavy cream and mix the beautiful sauce. Add the reserved scallops to the sauce. By this time the pasta should be ready to add to the sauce. Mix In the pasta with the scallops and the lovely sauce! Add grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor and SERVE!!!!

This amazing pasta dish can be made in so many different ways and you can use whatever you like! It’s so full of flavor and I asure you that if you try this it will become one of you’re favorite as well!

ENJOY! 🙂
