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.
