- Use a good quality Alfredo sauce. You can either make your own Alfredo sauce or use a store-bought sauce. If you are using a store-bought sauce, be sure to choose one that is made with real cream and cheese.
- Cook the fettuccine according to the package directions. Be sure to drain the fettuccine well before adding it to the sauce.
- Add the scallops and fettuccine to the Alfredo sauce and toss to coat. Be careful not to overcook the scallops, or they will become tough.
- Serve the scallops Alfredo with fettuccine immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired.
