We grew up using spaghetti like it was the only pasta that existed. Some people love angel hair for everything. Don’t feel like you have to pick the perfect pairing based on the rules I discussed above. Ever since I got a pasta maker (paid link) for Christmas, I’m addicted. Fresh from scratch fettuccineįor this dish, I was feeling fancy and decided to make fettuccini from scratch. Generally speaking, you want to use thicker, bigger pastas for heavier, meatier sauces and smaller pastas for lighter, creamy, buttery pastas. What kind of pasta should I use?īefore we move on to the actual cooking, let’s talk about the pasta. We found this in the deli and had them chop of two thick chunks. You want there to be some substance to the meat. What’s important though is that you get a larger chunk. Sometimes it’s with the fancy meats and cheeses, sometimes you can find it packaged with the lunch meat. You can most likely find pancetta at your regular grocery store. Teeny pieces for the shallot and small cubes for the pancetta. The rest I just chopped the old fashioned way. I get EVERY single morsel of the garlic, whereas in a garlic press, I’m always left with at least half of it smashed on the inside.įor zesting the lemon? Ding! You guessed it. It is way more effective (in my experience) than a garlic press. You get teeny tiny pieces that are basically garlic paste as opposed to larger pieces when you mince it. It really depends on the dish, but more often that not, I microplane the garlic as well. It’s just not the same to use the powder or the pre-shredded!! Diced shallot and microplaned garlic Note: Using block parmesan cheese and a microplaner is the very best way to use parmesan cheese here. measured out the Tony’s and chipotle chili pepper.Nooooooo pre-shredded or that powdery stuff!) microplaned the parmesan (use block parmesan and a microplaner (paid link).poured the wine and cream into separate measuring cups ready to pour.patted dry and placed scallops and shrimp in two bowls sprinkled with Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning.peeled and deveined the shrimp (if you got some already done, bonus!).For this, before I even made it to the stove I: everything needed and put each one in a separate prep bowl. And there are quite a few ingredients in this particular shrimp and scallop pasta recipe. The best thing you can do when cooking anything, especially when there are a lot of ingredients involved, is prep. If you are looking for some other pasta varieties, check out my Cajun Chicken Pasta, Cheese Stuffed Manicotti Florentine, or Creamy Spinach and Mushroom Orzo. Follow the order of events and this Shrimp and Scallop Pasta in White Wine Cream Sauce will be done before you know it. As long as you prep your ingredients before you start, it’s a piece of cake. The list of ingredients might be a little long for some and it may feel like it’s super complicated, but it’s totally not. I’ll admit, I used to be a slave to jarred sauces and premixed things to cook pasta, but that was until I figured how how much more delicious and surprisingly quite easy it is to whip up a sauce from scratch. How can you not? The possibilities with what you can do with it are endless so it’s hard to get bored with it and bonus- it’s very inexpensive. Just saute or broil before tossing everything together! This is part of our regular recipe rotation, and I think you will find a place for it in yours as well.Let’s start with stating the obvious. Sausage is also a good option here.Įven if it is not spring, you can use vegetables that you have on hand to make this year round. Have some leftover chicken? Just dice it up and throw it in when tossing. I also like to throw in some shrimp with the asparagus and spinach so that they cook in the sauce itself. You will want to make sure that you are using a large pot or deep skillet for this because once everything is added in, there is a lot of food to toss around. There is definitely a high vegetable ratio in this pasta which is a great way to cut back on the pasta itself without losing any of the flavor. You can cut back on the butter a little if you wish but it does add a velvety texture. The sauce has a rich, luxurious taste to it without requiring cream or milk. Look at those tomatoes, aren’t they beautiful? If you have any home-grown tomatoes or are able to get some fresh ones from the farmer’s market stand, this dish is a great way to highlight the tomatoes and the amazing flavor that comes with them. Here is what you need to make this recipe:
