Directions:How to make white wine sauce:
1. In a medium skillet, heat butter, olive oil and minced garlic on medium heat.
2. Cook for a minute, until garlic softens.
3. Add wine. Bring to a boil. Boil for several minutes until the amount
of wine reduces approximately to half.
4. Add heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Bring to a boil and immediately
reduce to simmer.
5. Simmer for a couple of minutes, stirring at all times, until the sauce thickens a bit.
6. Remove from heat. Stir in drained capers and lemon juice. Season with S & P.
Taste, add more lemon juice, salt and pepper if needed. Keep covered.
Pasta:
1. Cook according to pkg. directions until al dente. Drain. Add to the sauce and stir.
How to sear scallops:
1. If using frozen scallops, make sure the scallops are thawed completely.
2. Blot each scallop with paper towels to remove extra water.
3. Season with salt.
4. Heat 2 tbsp. olive oil in a large skillet on high heat until hot but not smoking.
Oil should not be smoking, just rolling easily around the skillet.
5. Add scallops without overcrowding the pan.
6. Sear on one side for about 4 minutes until the scallops are golden color.
Don't move the scallops around the pan in the beginning.
7. Turn the scallops to the other side and cook for 2 or 3 more minutes.
8. Remove from heat and transfer the scallops to the plate immediately.
9. Don't allow the scallops to rest in the hot skillet, off heat.
That will make them steam and lose their crust.
10. Add cooked scallops to the spaghetti with the creamy white sauce and
reheat gently. Serve. |
