Scallops with Spaghetti Florentine
(Serves 2)
Ingredients:
6 ounces thin spaghetti
8 ounces sea scallops, patted dry
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons butter, divided
1/2 shallot, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup chicken broth
3 to 4 ounces fresh spinach, coarsely chopped
10-12 grape tomatoes, halved
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)
Directions:
Cook spaghetti in boiling, salted water for the time suggested on the package; drain.
Season the scallops with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallops and cook for about 2 minutes per side or until lightly golden brown. Transfer the scallops to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the shallots and garlic; cook for 1 minute.
Add the wine and cook until reduced by half, about 1 minute.
Add the chicken broth and remaining 2 tablespoons of butter; bring to a simmer. Add the drained spaghetti, spinach, tomatoes and lemon zest. Cook until the spinach wilts, about 1-2 minutes. Return the scallops to the skillet and cook just long enough to reheat them. Serve with grated Parmesan, if desired.
