Sea Scallops Sauteed With Mushrooms & Pasta

Submitted by Jenniegal

"My husband brought home these huge Maine sea scallops and I made another experiment which turned out really good. It was very light and tasty and simple to make. I used baby portobello mushrooms & bowtie pasta. The hubby would like to see this done with angel hair pasta next time."

The recipe was easy to make and it took about 30 minutes. I had all the ingredients in my pantry and happened to have the mushrooms on hand. Used frozen baby scallops and Barilla Spaghetti only about 1.5 cups of spaghetti to serve two people. My husband and I thought it was tasty and light. Not sure if children would like this dish, but we did and I would make it again.
