Delicious with a few minor changes: regular fettucine instead of whole-wheat chicken broth instead of clam juice (I'm allergic) EVAPORATED skim milk instead of regular low-fat milk and 1 cup of peas instead of 3. Perfect!
Creamy scallops & pea fettuccine. The scallops were tasty. However the rest turned out to be a waste of food. The family said if I cook anything like that again they will take over the cooking. It was really heavy and bland with a lack of spice. Sorry but we all think it is not worth trying. Pros: Nothing Cons: Was a heavy mushy bland pile of peas and fettuccine smothering the scallops
Omit the clam juice and you'll be okay. I made it with 1/2 lb small bay scallops and did not use the clam juice. I really didn't want it to taste fishy. The natural juices from the scallops were enough for flavor. Saute the scallops with garlic and earth balance and salt and pepper added the peas(only used 1 cup of frozen peas and that was enough) then made the sauce with the extra ingredients in the pan with the scallops. We served with crushed red pepper for the adults and sans hot pepper for the kid. Was a real hit.
He liked it. I hated it. I think the clam juice really turned me off.
Too bland for my taste. It had almost no flavor at all. The peas helped but couldn't save it. So sad since the scallops smelled so good when they went into the pan!
I used the recipe as a shell..changed a lot! Used GF fettuccine and flour subbed spinach for peas used parmasan cheese and did not use clam juice. I thought about adding more seasoning after reading reviews but decided that I didn t want to override the delicate flavor of the scallops. Filling but yummy!
waste of ingredients Followed all the steps but this recipe is not worth it. Recipe suggests too many peas and the end result lacks flavor. Waste of expensive Parmesan reggiano and scallops. Indigestion is imminent. Pros: none Cons: heavy bland
Hated it! I didn't like this AT ALL. It was way too bland and didn't even look appetizing. Definitely a waste of food. I tried to save the scallops by putting them back in the skillet and adding butter parsley and garlic salt (similar to scampi)... They were at least edible now but the clam juice was still very present. And of course they were now over-cooked.
My husband and I both loved this! I'm not a fan of chives so I omitted those. I also used a whole wheat pasta to add a little more fiber. This is one I'll make again!
