Print Recipe

A gourmet meal featuring seared scallops served over spaghetti in a creamy white wine butter garlic sauce with capers. The scallops are moist and full of flavor, complemented by a rich Parmesan-infused sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons capers, drained
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • Salt to taste
  • 8 oz spaghetti
  • 1 pound scallops (medium size, about 12–14 scallops)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (for scallops)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for searing scallops)

Instructions

  1. Cook butter, olive oil, and minced garlic on medium heat for about 1 minute, until garlic softens.
  2. Add white wine and bring to boil. Boil for several minutes until the wine reduces by half.
  3. Add heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Simmer and stir for several minutes until the sauce thickens.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in drained capers, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  5. Cook spaghetti according to package directions in salted boiling water.
  6. Sear scallops in a hot pan with olive oil for 2-3 minutes per side until fully cooked.
  7. Drain pasta and toss with the creamy sauce.
  8. Plate spaghetti and top with seared scallops. Garnish with Parmesan cheese.

Notes

Ensure scallops are completely thawed before cooking. Pat dry with paper towels to achieve a good sear. The sauce can be made ahead and reheated gently before serving.
