Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1-pound spaghetti squash, cut in half lengthwise and seeded
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for baking pan
4 leeks, white and light-green parts only, thinly sliced lengthwise
2 medium shallots, peeled and thinly sliced lengthwise
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
10 large sea scallops, muscles removed, sliced in half
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup dry white wine (optional)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
1 bunch minced chives

Steps:

CREAMY BAY SCALLOP SPAGHETTI



Creamy Bay Scallop Spaghetti image

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:

  • Choose high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are plump and have a slightly briny smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have a strong odor.
  • Pat the scallops dry before cooking. This will help them to brown evenly.
  • Season the scallops generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Sear the scallops in hot oil for 2-3 minutes per side. This will create a golden brown crust and help to cook the scallops through.

  • Serve the scallops immediately with your favorite sauce and sides.
