Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb U-10 scallops
1 large spaghetti squash
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup maitake mushrooms*
2 cups baby spinach
1/4 cup panko
1/4 cup half and half
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 lemon, (juice)
1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
1/2 tbsp minced garlic
1/2 tbsp dried thyme
1/2 tbsp dried oregano
1 tbsp unbleached flour
1/4 cup white cooking wine
butter
olive oil

Steps:

  • Prepare the ingredients: cook the spaghetti squash (this post will give you step by step instructions), slice the tomatoes in half, and pull apart each mushroom "leaf". This article does a great job of explaining how to prepare maitake mushrooms.
  • Heat a non-stick pan with 1 tbsp of olive oil on medium-high heat. Add the panko and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until lightly browned. Set aside.
  • Melt 2 tbsps butter, garlic, white cooking wine, and lemon juice in a small sauce pan on medium-low heat, then slowly whisk in half and half, thyme, oregano, and flour. Stir constantly until fully combined and sauce has thickened. Then remove from heat and sprinkle in 1 tbsp of grated parmesan cheese, return the sauce to the burner and simmer until ready to use.
  • Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel.
  • Heat 1 tbsp of butter and 1/2 tbsp of olive oil in a large non-stick pan on high heat.
  • Add scallops to the pan, being careful not to overcrowd. Sear for 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and finish searing for and additional minute. Immediately remove scallops from pan and transfer to a plate.
  • Using the same pan you cooked the scallops in, sauté the mushrooms with 1 tbsp of olive oil for 2-3 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to low and add the spaghetti squash, tomatoes, and spinach to the pan with the mushrooms and slowly mix in the cream sauce. Adjust the amount of cream sauce added to your liking.
  • Transfer scallops back to pan and garnish with toasted panko, parmesan cheese and fresh chopped parsley.

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1-pound spaghetti squash, cut in half lengthwise and seeded
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for baking pan
4 leeks, white and light-green parts only, thinly sliced lengthwise
2 medium shallots, peeled and thinly sliced lengthwise
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
10 large sea scallops, muscles removed, sliced in half
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup dry white wine (optional)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
1 bunch minced chives

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Place squash, cut-sides down, on an oiled baking pan. Cook until easily pierced with a knife tip, about 45 minutes. Using a fork, separate the flesh into strands, and transfer to a bowl; cover.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Cook leeks and shallots, stirring, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Place flour in a small bowl; dredge scallops. Return pan to heat; add remaining tablespoon oil. Cook half of scallops until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper. Cook remaining scallops.
  • Increase heat to medium high; add wine or 3/4 cup water. Using a wooden spoon, scrape up any brown bits on bottom of pan. Cook until liquid has reduced by half. Slowly whisk in the butter until sauce begins to thicken, about 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide the squash and the leek mixture among four dinner plates; top with scallops. Drizzle with sauce, and garnish with chives. Serve.
