Time 22m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 ounces fettuccini pasta
2 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons panko bread crumbs
½ pound bay scallops
¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup white wine
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup loosely packed baby spinach
¼ cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons julienned sun-dried tomatoes
⅛ cup microgreens

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender, yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place bacon pieces in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
  • Add minced garlic to the remaining bacon grease and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add bread crumbs and cook until golden, about 30 seconds more. Remove panko-garlic mixture to a small bowl.

Tips:

  • Don't overcook the scallops: Scallops are delicate and cook quickly. Overcooking them will make them tough and rubbery. Cook them for just a few minutes per side, or until they are opaque and cooked through.
  • Make sure the sauce is creamy and flavorful: The Alfredo sauce is the key to this dish. Make sure it is creamy and flavorful by using high-quality ingredients and cooking it until it is thick and bubbly.
  • Serve the dish immediately: Bacon Alfredo Scallops and Fettuccini is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if you wait too long.

Conclusion:

Bacon Alfredo Scallops and Fettuccini is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like your Alfredo sauce thick or thin, or your scallops cooked more or less, this dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
