Steps:
- Lay 1 or 2 paper towels over a baking pan or plate. Place scallops on top and with additional paper towels, lightly pat dry the top and sides of the scallops.
- In a stainless steel saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat, about 1 to 2 minutes. The oil may pool to one side of the pan. Gently add scallops one at a time. Dip the flat side of each scallop into the oil and move across the pan providing space between the scallops. Cook on one side for 2 to 3 minutes. Using tongs or a spatula, lift one side of the scallop to check if the bottom has browned. If not, cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Gently flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Once ready, remove scallops onto a plate; set aside.
- Using the same oil in the saucepan, mix in wine, broth and salt. Set aside and cover to keep warm.
- In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add mushrooms and shallot. Cover and cook until mushrooms have released their juice; stir occasionally, about 5 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking mushrooms for another 4 minutes. If using white mushrooms, cook until browned, about 4 minutes.
- Add remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and once melted, mix in flour and thyme. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally until no dry flour remains and thyme should be fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Mix in reserved wine-broth mixture; bring to a simmer and cook until sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and return sauce to a simmer; cook until thickened, about 2 to 4 minutes longer. Sauce should coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice, scallops and season with salt and pepper to taste.

PASTA PRIMAVERA
I see you rolling your eyes at the thought of spaghetti primavera. The dish, rarely seen now, became an absurdity of 1980s so-called seasonal cooking. Meant to be an expression of spring, the mad jumble of vegetables over pasta was mostly an expression of the death match between French and Italian cuisine (cream versus olive oil, sauce versus pasta). But in the late 1970s, when New York's Le Cirque popularized spaghetti primavera, Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey called it "by far, the most talked-about dish in Manhattan." I encourage you to make Le Cirque's version, all 10 pain-in-the-neck steps of it, because despite its tempestuous origins, it's wonderful.

Steps:
- Trim broccoli and break into florets. Trim off ends of the zucchini. Cut into quarters, then cut into 1-inch or slightly longer lengths (about 1 1/2 cups). Cut each asparagus into 2-inch pieces. Trim beans and cut into 1-inch pieces.
- Cook each of the green vegetables separately in boiling salted water to cover until crisp but tender. Drain well, then run under cold water to chill, and drain again thoroughly. Combine the cooked vegetables in a bowl.
- Cook the peas and pods; about 1 minute if fresh; 30 seconds if frozen. Drain, chill with cold water and drain again. Combine with the vegetables.
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat the peanut oil and add the mushrooms. Season to taste. Cook about 2 minutes, shaking the skillet and stirring. Add the mushrooms, chili and parsley to the vegetables.
- Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a saucepan and add half the garlic, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Cook about 4 minutes. Add the basil.
- Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet and add the remaining garlic and the vegetable mixture. Cook, stirring gently, until heated through.
- Cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water until almost (but not quite) tender, retaining a slight resilience in the center. Drain well.
- In a pot large enough to hold the spaghetti and vegetables, add the butter and melt over medium-low heat. Then add the chicken broth and half a cup each of cream and cheese, stirring constantly. Cook gently until smooth. Add the spaghetti and toss quickly to blend. Add half the vegetables and pour in the liquid from the tomatoes, tossing over very low heat.
- Add the remaining vegetables. If the sauce seems dry, add 3 to 4 tablespoons more cream. Add the pine nuts and give the mixture a final tossing.
- Serve equal portions of the spaghetti mixture in hot soup or spaghetti bowls. Spoon equal amounts of the tomatoes over each serving. Serve immediately.

COQUILLES ST. JACQUES (SCALLOPS WITH MUSHROOMS IN CREAM SAUCE)
Steps:
- Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a saucepan and add the shallots. Cook briefly, stirring, and add the mushrooms. Cook until wilted and add the salt, pepper, and wine. Add the scallops and bring to the boil. Cook until all the scallops are heated through, stirring gently as necessary. Take care not to let the scallops overcook or they will toughen. Using a slotted spoon, remove and set aside the scallops and mushrooms. Reserve the liquid. There should be about 3/4 cup of liquid. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring rapidly with a wire whisk. When blended add the reserved liquid, stirring until thickened and smooth. Add the milk and 1 cup of the cream. Cook for about 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste and a pinch of cayenne. Whip the remaining 2 tablespoons of heavy cream. Fold it into the sauce. Use 6 individual scallop shells or ramekins. Spoon equal portions of the scallops and mushrooms into each shell. Spoon the sauce over the scallop mixture. Preheat the broiler to high. Place the filled shells under the broiler about 6 inches from the source of heat and bake until a nice brown glaze forms on top. As the scallops broil, turn shells occasionally for even browning, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the scallops and mushrooms will not cook evenly.
- Cook the scallops over high heat. This will help them to sear and develop a nice, golden crust.
- Don't overcook the scallops. They should be cooked through, but still slightly translucent in the center.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your primavera. This will add color, flavor, and texture to the dish.
- Season the primavera to taste. You may want to add salt, pepper, garlic powder, or other herbs and spices.
- Serve the primavera immediately. This dish is best enjoyed fresh.
