Scallop and Spinach Alfredo Creamy Scallop and Spinach Alfredo with Garlic-Parmesan Sauce Ingredients: 12 oz fettuccine or linguine 1 lb sea scallops, patted dry Salt and black pepper, to taste 2 tablespoons olive oil 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 cup heavy cream 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 3 cups fresh spinach 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional) Juice of 1/2 lemon Chopped parsley, for garnish Directions: Cook pasta in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water. Season scallops with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear scallops for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and just cooked through. Remove and set aside. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in Parmesan, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Simmer gently until the sauce thickens slightly (2–3 minutes). Add spinach and cook until wilted. Toss in the cooked pasta, adding reserved pasta water if needed for creaminess. Return scallops to the pan and gently stir to combine and warm through. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
