CREAMY BAY SCALLOP SPAGHETTI



Creamy Bay Scallop Spaghetti image

This scallop and spaghetti dinner with a creamy sauce is fast and easy. I cook the scallops a bit longer than many chefs, but that's gives the dish more flavor and they're still tender and moist. I think you'll agree, the sherry sauce benefits significantly from the longer cook time.

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Scallops

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 ounces uncooked thick spaghetti
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound bay scallops
2 tablespoons butter

1 pinch red pepper flakes
⅓ cup dry sherry
1 cup heavy cream
salt and pepper to taste
1 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley, divided
Freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes or 1 minute less than directed on the package.

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

5 to 6 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 pound chunk pancetta chopped into small dice
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 pound spaghetti
1 medium onion, chopped
2 carrots, cut into a small dice
1 fresh bay leaf
5 to 6 sprigs fresh thyme
1 (15-ounce) can Roman beans or small white beans (recommended: Goya brand)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup dry white wine, eyeball it
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
A generous handful flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Place the stock in a sauce pot and warm it over medium heat then reduce to simmer.
  • Heat the extra-virgin olive oil and the butter in a large, deep skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the pancetta to brown slightly. Next add the garlic and spaghetti and toast the noodles lightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Add onions and carrots, bay leaf and thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Soften veggies a bit, 5 minutes. Add wine and allow it to be completely absorbed. Add beans then add a few ladles of stock and stir the pasta. Keep adding stock a few ladles at a time allowing liquids to be mostly absorbed before adding more, as if you were preparing a risotto. When liquids are absorbed and spaghetti is cooked to al dente, 12-15 minutes, stir in cheese. Adjust salt and pepper. Turn off heat and stir another minute. Remove the bay leaf and thyme stems. Serve in shallow bowls and garnish with lots of parsley.

CREAMY CAJUN CHICKEN SPAGHETTI

CREAMY CHICKEN SPAGHETTI



Creamy Chicken Spaghetti image

This is so rich and creamy with a hint of spice that I think you will enjoy. I've been playing around with it for a couple of weeks and my DD says this is the best. Use a small rotisseri chicken from your grocery store to make this even easier. The flavor of the chicken really works in this recipe. This makes a lot and will not fit into a 9X13 inch pan. This freezes well and left overs are even better. Hope you enjoy.

CREAMY HAM SPAGHETTI



Creamy Ham Spaghetti image

This, my friends, is comfort food! This is my adaptation of a recipe originally by The Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond. Her original recipe calls for chicken instead of ham, which is also good. This is very like a tetrazzini. I have frozen this before baking, then thawed and baked with good results.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup butter, divided
16 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
12 ounces spaghetti
2 cups cooked ham, diced
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Melt 2 T. butter in skillet, add mushrooms, and saute until done. Remove to large bowl.
  • Bring large pot of salted water to boil and cook spaghetti according to package directions.
  • While spaghetti is cooking, melt remaining 6 T. butter in skillet you used for the mushrooms.
  • Add flour and stir to make a roux.
  • Slowly add chicken broth, stirring to avoid lumps.
  • Add milk, and stir to combine.
  • Cook and stir until thickened, then add parmesan cheese.
  • Add sauce to bowl of mushrooms along with cooked spaghetti and ham. Stir to combine well.
  • Pour into 9x13 pan. Sprinkle with cheese and bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your creamy spaghetti. Look for ripe tomatoes, sweet onions, and creamy Parmesan cheese.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the spaghetti, be sure to use a large enough pot so that the pasta has plenty of room to cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the pasta will cook unevenly and become gummy.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian, and it refers to the ideal doneness for pasta. Pasta that is cooked al dente is still slightly firm to the bite. This will prevent the pasta from becoming mushy when it is combined with the sauce.
  • Make the sauce ahead of time: The creamy sauce for this dish can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will save you time when you're ready to serve the dish.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, or thyme, can add a pop of color and flavor to your creamy spaghetti. Add them just before serving for the best flavor.

Conclusion:

Creamy spaghetti is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a creamy, flavorful sauce that will coat your spaghetti perfectly. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give this creamy spaghetti recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
