A note about serious food allergies

Combining scallops and the lemony fettuccine Alfredo is one of the best ideas we've ever had, even if it's not 1000% original to us. Who needs originality when we have delicious, fresh ingredients put together with ease and optimized flavors? Creamy, rich pasta sauce with fresh broccoli and buttery, delicate scallops… this may not be the first version of this meal, but it is, we dare say, one of the best.

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Once water is boiling, add pasta and cook until al dente, 8-10 minutes.

    Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water. Drain pasta in a colander. Set aside.

    While pasta cooks, prepare ingredients.

  2. 2

    Prepare Ingredients and Roast Broccoli

    Cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces, if necessary.

    Peel and mince shallot.

    Zest and halve lemon. Cut one half into wedges and juice the other half.

    Place broccoli on prepared baking sheet and toss with 1 tsp. olive oil and 1/4 tsp. salt. Massage oil and seasoning into broccoli.

    Spread into a single layer and roast in hot oven until tender, 12-14 minutes.

    While broccoli roasts, cook scallops.

  3. 3

    Cook the Scallops

    Pat scallops dry, and season both sides with a pinch of pepper.

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add scallops to hot pan and cook until scallops are browned and reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 1-2 minutes per side.

    Remove from burner. Transfer scallops to a plate and tent with foil. Wipe pan clean and reserve.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    Return pan used to cook scallops to medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add shallot to hot pan and cook until fragrant, 30-60 seconds.

    Add flour and stir until no dry flour remains in pan.

    Add reserved pasta cooking water, mirepoix base, cream cheese, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir occasionally until completely combined and slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Finish Sauce and Finish Dish

    Stir cooked pasta, lemon zest, 2 tsp. lemon juice, and half the Parmesan (reserve remaining for garnish) into hot pan until combined.

    Carefully taste, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper, if desired. If too thick, add water, 1 Tbsp, at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Remove from burner.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping pasta with broccoli and scallops and garnishing with remaining Parmesan and pine nuts. Squeeze lemon wedges over meal to taste. Bon appétit!
