Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (8 ounce) package whole-wheat fettuccine
1 pound large dry sea scallops
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 (8 ounce) bottle clam juice
1 cup low-fat milk
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
⅛ teaspoon salt
3 cups frozen green peas, thawed
¾ cup shredded Romano cheese, divided
⅓ cup chopped fresh chives
½ teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook the fettuccini at a boil until cooked through yet slightly firm, about 6 minutes; drain.
  • Season the scallops salt.
  • Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the scallops until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer scallops to a plate.
  • Pour the clam juice into the skillet.
  • Whisk together the low-fat milk, flour, white pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon salt until the mixture is smooth; whisk into the clam juice. Reduce heat to low and bring the sauce to a simmer, whisking constantly. Cook until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Return the scallops and any accumulated juices to the skillet and stir in the peas until thoroughly combined. Return to a simmer.
  • Gently mix the cooked fettuccine, 1/2 cup of Romano cheese, chives, lemon zest, and lemon juice into the scallops and sauce. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup of Romano cheese to serve.

The creamy pea fettuccine was a bit too heavy for my taste. I would recommend using a lighter sauce.
