Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces medium egg noodles
1 cup frozen peas
3/4 pound large sea scallops (about 15; tough ligament removed from side of each if attached), halved horizontally
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons water
2/3 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Cook noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water , uncovered, until almost al dente, about 5 minutes, then stir in peas and cook until noodles are al dente, about 2 minutes more. Drain in a colander, then transfer to a platter and keep warm, loosely covered with foil.
  • While noodles cook, pat scallops dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then add scallops. Increase heat to high and sear scallops, turning over once, until golden brown and just cooked through, 2 minutes total. Transfer to platter with noodles and keep covered.
  • Add wine to skillet and deglaze by boiling, stirring and scraping up any brown bits, 1 minute. Stir in water and cream and boil until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in chives and pour sauce over scallops and noodles.

This dish looks way too complicated for me to make. I'll have to pass.

This dish was a bit too rich for me. The scallops were good, but the creamy noodles and peas were a bit too heavy.

These scallops were cooked to perfection - seared on the outside and tender on the inside. The creamy noodles and peas were a great accompaniment, and the whole dish came together beautifully.
