Pasta with Scallops
Sep. 21st, 2021 04:26 pmThis week's recipe is a seafood and pasta dish, because I like both things. :) This recipe comes from the Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook.

Thoughts and Variations
Once again, Candian packaging differs from American, so I used 2 300g pacakages of scallops, resulting in about 1 1/4 pounds. I didn't have bow ties, so I used a combination of spiral pasta and macaroni. I forgot to account for the different sizes though and used a measuring cup instead of weighing it; so I think I ended up with too much pasta. I also misread the directions, so I didn't put butter with the pasta. I used two carrots instead of three, a 200g package of snap peas, and 2 very branched stalks of green onions which was probably more than 1/3 cup. I used apple cider vinegar instead of white wine, since I don't usually have wine in the house, because the internet said it was a valid substitute. I used dried oregano, and forgot to add the parmesan to my dish.
It tastes pretty good, although the snap peas were more bitter than I expected. The sauce was also a little sour, maybe because I used apple cider vinegar instead of white wine? I managed not to over cook the scallops, which was nice. I'm not sure I would make it again or not, but it was tasty enough and I'm glad I made it.
