Steps:
- Place a large pot of water over high heat and bring up to a boil for the pasta. Once at a boil add some salt and cook pasta to package directions. Hold off on starting the scallops until you drop your pasta.
- Remove the mussel from the scallops then with a paper towel pat them dry and season them with salt and pepper.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil, about 1 turn around the pan and 2 tablespoons of the butter. When butter melts into oil, add scallops. Brown scallops 2 minutes on each side, then remove from pan and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
- Add an additional drizzle of olive oil to the skillet and add the garlic, shallots, crushed red pepper flakes, thyme, a little salt and pepper. Reduce heat a little and saute garlic and shallots 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add wine to the pan and free up any pan drippings. Reduce wine 1 minute, then add seafood stock. Continue to cook for about 1 minute. Add the basil, parsley, lemon zest and juice and the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, shake and stir the mixture until the butter has melted. Add the cooked linguini and cook for about 30 seconds, just to combine and let the pasta soak up the sauce.
- Divide the pasta between 2 serving plates and top with reserved scallops.
- For the side salad, in a bowl combine the arugula and tomatoes, drizzle with a little extra-virgin olive oil, a splash of balsamic vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and serve.
- And for dessert, rinse strawberries and arrange on a plate. Serve with a glass of Champagne.

In skillet set over moderately high heat melt 1 tablespoon of the butter with the oil and heat until hot. Add the scallops and saute until golden and just firm. Transfer to a plate, add the shallots to the skillet and cook 1 minute. Add the Madeira and reduce by half. Add the cream and reduce until lightly thickened. Stir in mustard, lemon juice, paprika and salt and pepper to taste.
- In a saucepan of boiling salted water cook the pasta shapes until "al dente", drain and toss with remaining butter.

Steps:
- If bay scallops are used, leave them whole. If sea scallops are used, cut them into quarters.
- Cut the broccoli into florets. Peel the stems and cut each lengthwise into quarters. There should be about 4 cups of flowerets and stems. Drop the broccoli into boiling salted water and when the water returns to the boil cook exactly 1 minute. Drain.
- Cut away the outer thick portion of the tomatoes and cut the pieces into lengthwise strips, each about 1/4-inch thick. There should be about 2 cups.
- Chop the inner portion of the tomatoes with their seeds. There should be about 3/4 cup.
- Cut the mushrooms into thin slices. There should be about 3 cups.
- Heat the water to make it ready for the linguine when it is added.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet and add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring, about 3 minutes. Add the shallots and stir.
- Add the chopped inner portion of tomatoes, the red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, about 1 minute and add the cream. Bring to the boil and add the scallops. Cook 30 seconds and add the parboiled broccoli pieces. Add the tomato strips and stir.
- Meanwhile, when the water is boiling, add the linguine. If fresh pasta is used, it will require about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes of cooking time. If dried pasta is used, cook it to the desired degree of doneness, about 7 to 9 minutes.
- Drain the pasta and return it to the kettle in which it cooked. Pour the scallop and broccoli sauce over the pasta. Add the butter and basil and blend gently but well. Serve immediately.

CREAMY BAY SCALLOP SPAGHETTI
This scallop and spaghetti dinner with a creamy sauce is fast and easy. I cook the scallops a bit longer than many chefs, but that's gives the dish more flavor and they're still tender and moist. I think you'll agree, the sherry sauce benefits significantly from the longer cook time.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any last-minute surprises.
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish. Whenever possible, use fresh seafood, vegetables, and herbs.
- Cook the Scallops Properly: Scallops are a delicate seafood, so it's important to cook them carefully. Overcooking can make them tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they are opaque and slightly firm to the touch.
- Make the Herb Cream Sauce in Advance: The herb cream sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will save you time when you're ready to cook the pasta.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When cooking the scallops, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Garnish the Dish: Before serving, garnish the dish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
Linguine with scallops and herb cream is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It's also relatively easy to make, so it's a great option for home cooks of all skill levels. With a little planning and effort, you can easily create a meal that will impress your friends and family.
