What's for dinner? What do I have on hand? Spaghetti, cream, tomato paste, shrimp, scallops, etc.
Put them together and what do you have?
Creamy tomato Vodka Spaghetti, with Duq'qah shrimp and scallops
Spaghetti, for 2 +
1 tbs butter
drizzle olive oil
1 onion, sliced
1 cup cream
2 tbs good tomato paste, with 1/2 cup water (+/-)
1 tbs pesto
1/2 cup white wine or vodka, or combination
1/2 tsp white pepper
Options: chopped spinach, sautéed mushrooms, etc.
Shrimp and Scallops, for 2+
1 rounded teaspoon Duq'qah
salt, to tastes
Butter, for the scallops and shrimp
Prepare the sauce by heating oil and butter in a saucepot and adding sliced onions. When the onion is translucent and beginning to brown, add the cream, tomato paste with water, pesto, wine and/or vodka, and season.
Time the cooking of the pasta with the finishing of the cooking of the seafood. Toss the seafood with the Duq'qah and a pinch of salt. Heat a pan with butter and cook, about 2-3 minutes per side, basting with the butter.
Toss the spaghetti with the sauce, top with grated parmesan and top with the cooked seafood.
