Nif's Linguine With Scallops
- Reviews 1
Ready In: 20 mins
Serves: 1
Ingredients
- 3 ounces whole wheat linguine (I use Smart Pasta, white pasta with lots of fibre!)
- 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon (OXO)
- olive oil (for spritzer)
- 1 cup mushroom, sliced
- 2 tablespoons shallots, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fat free cream cheese
- 3 1⁄2 ounces sea scallops (about 1 cup)
- salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
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.
