Ingredients
- 1 bag frozen scallops (around 12 oz.)
- 1 small box of Linguine pasta
- 1 Tbsp. butter
- 1 whole lemon
- 1/2 tsp. Thyme
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 2 Tbsp. butter
- 2 Tbsp. flour (or 3 Tbsp.for thicker sauce, 1 Tbsp. for thinner sauce)
- 1 cup milk
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Dash of nutmeg
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
Zest the lemon and put it aside for later.
Boil the linguine for 8-10 minutes in heavily salted water. Drain, rinse with a bit of cold water to stop the cooking, and set aside.
In a pan over medium high heat, melt 1 Tbsp.butter. Add the scallops, thyme, lemon, and a dash of salt & pepper. The water from the frozen scallops will create a thin sauce. Cook for 8-10 minutes then remove from heat.
In another pan over medium high heat, melt 2 Tbsp. butter. As soon as the butter melts, add the flour. Stir with a wire whisk until blended. Microwave 1 cup of milk for 2 minutes {until almost boiling}. Pour it over the flour mixture and stirring rapidly until completely blended. Add the Parmesan cheese, mix until melted, and continue stirring frequently for bout 15 minutes. (makes about 1 cup sauce).
Stir the scallops & sauce in to the alfredo sauce, then pour over the linguine.
Makes 3 servings (we ate it for dinner, and had enough leftover for my lunch)
