Ingredients
4 tablespoons butter, divided
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 cups fresh baby spinach, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds jumbo scallops
2 cups fresh baby spinach, roughly chopped
Kosher salt and fresh black pepper, for seasoning the scallops
1/2 cup onion, diced
3/4 cup white wine
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
1 small jar sliced sun dried tomatoes, drained
1 pound spaghetti
Fresh black pepper and chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Directions
- In a large pot, heat water to boil the spaghetti. Once boiling, cook the spaghetti according to the package directions and drain.
- In a cast iron or stainless steel skillet over medium high heat, add 2 tablespoons of the butter together with the olive oil.
- Use salt and pepper to season the scallops on both sides, then add them to the skillet.
- Cook the scallops on one side for 3-4 minutes until brown crust. If the scallops are sticking to the pan they aren’t ready to turn yet, just give them another minute or two. Then turn the scallops over and let cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side until browned.
- Remove the scallops to a plate and cover with foil.
- Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the skillet, add the onions and cook for 5 minutes until softened.
- Add the garlic, stir and cook for a minute longer and pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan.
- Let the wine cook down until it is reduced by half (about 2 minutes) then pour in the chicken broth and cream and bring to a simmer.
- Mix the cornstarch and water together and pour into the simmering sauce. Whisk the sauce and bring it back to a simmer, cooking for 5 minutes until the sauce is reduced and thickened.
- Add the spinach and the sun dried tomatoes to the sauce, stirring the spinach into the sauce to wilt. Season the sauce with more salt and pepper, to taste, if needed.
- Place the scallops back into the sauce, turning to coat. Cover the skillet and simmer the sauce for 5 minutes, then remove the scallops from the sauce and place back on the plate, covered.
- Toss the sauce with the spaghetti and add to a serving bowl. Place the scallops on top or add to individual bowls when serving.
- Garnish with fresh black pepper and chopped parsley, if desired.
