One of my oldest friends is about to graduate from cooking school and I thought while she’s in town I would take advantage and learn from her skills. We made a simple creamy dish that is easy to make and mouth watering. Perfect for dinner time, the scallops and shallots are the best combination for a seafood pasta dish.

Ingredients (2 servings):

• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup peas
• 5 mushrooms, chopped
• 3/4 lb. small bay scallops
• 2 shallots, chopped
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp butter, melted and browned
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 lb. mini farfalle pasta
• 2 tbsp parmesan cheese

1. Cook pasta thoroughly in boiling water.

2.While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a medium pot until just browned and then stir the flour in until well mixed, making a roux.

3. Add in heavy cream, peas, shallots, mushrooms, and season to taste.

4. Top pasta dish with creamy sauce and parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
