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.
