Made this today for an early dinner and served it along with Gurkensalat (cucumber salad) #142724. YUMMY! Another great recipe and a keeper for my Favorites of 2010. Thank you! Made for Cook-A-Thon for Nora Marie in memory of her husband Ed.

WOW! This is a creamy delicious dish! The scallops were perfectly cooked and the sauce really enhanced their succulent flavor. The recipe called for angel hair but I used 3 cheese stuffed tortellinis for half the family and for myself and my other DD, I made collard greens and rice to go with the scallops and sauce. Pictures will depict both ways. Made in memory of Nora's DH Ed.
