Nif's Linguine With Scallops

"I wanted to whip up some pasta for dinner tonight and this is what I came up with! I kept it low calorie and low fat but feel free to add some white wine or saute the veggies in butter or oil. If I wasn't watching what I am eating, I would probably do both! :) I used cream cheese to thicken up the sauce a bit and I really like the taste. FYI - it counts as 8 WW points. Enjoy!"

directions

  • In a pot, bring water to a boil. Add chicken boullion and linguine and cook until al dente. Reserve water.
  • Meanwhile, spritz a frying pan with olive oil and set over medium heat. Add mushrooms and shallots and saute until mushrooms are softened, about 5 minutes. Add scallops and cream cheese and 1/4 cup of pasta water. The scallops only need to cook for 2 minutes or they become rubbery.
  • When pasta is finished cooking, add directly to the frying pan without rinsing. Stir until combined. Add more pasta water if you want more sauce.
  • Pour pasta onto a plate and top with parsley.

  1. Yummy. I used multi grain spaghetti (out of fettuccine) and dried chives on top. The flavors here are all some of my fav's so this was bound to be a hit. It's easy, quick and feels like something you'd get in a high priced restaurant. Will certainly make again.

I love great food and I particularly like trying cuisines new to me! Although I don't prepare as much food as I used to, creating in my kitchen is still one of my favourite things to do. Enjoy!
