Lemon Ricotta Pasta with Seared Scallops Recipe |
The
beauty of this dish is that the grilled scallops make it look like a meal
worthy of eating in a restaurant that you have spent all night. However, the
reality is that shellfish take several minutes to burn crispy golden delicacy,
and uncooked sauces are as easy as throwing freshly cooked pasta with a ricotta
tub, pale sweet peas and a few other kitchen ingredients.
