The garlic really brings the flavor out! I may have used too much oil though. Still yum!
I totally agree, garlic makes everything better! And more oil just makes it richer! Yum!
This recipe was amazing! The scallops were cooked to perfection, and the asparagus added a nice crunch. Will definitely make it again!
This is too fancy. My husband won’t eat asparagus, what do I do? I’m confused.
Delicious! Perfect dinner for date night. I added some parmesan on top. A+
I used shrimp instead of scallops and it turned out great! Love this recipe.
It felt like something was missing in this dish. Maybe a sauce or something? My family didn’t love it.
I totally agree! It definitely needs a sauce to bring out more flavors. Maybe something like a cream sauce or a lemon butter? My family also thought it was kinda bland.
What do you mean missing? It’s just pasta and seafood, not much more needed. Just add some hot sauce if it’s bland for ya.
Honestly, I can’t eat scallops. I think I’ll just stick with chicken next time. Any ideas?
Scallops are great but I get it! You can just cook chicken with the same garlic and asparagus combo, should be good too.
Hey! You could try making a chicken alfredo with pasta instead! It’s super creamy and delicious!
Too much work for a simple meal, I don’t believe the cooking times, might have messed it up.
I get that it might seem like a lot, but it’s really not that complicated! The timing worked fine for me. Maybe try it again?
Sooo good! My pasta was a bit overcooked but the scallops made up for it!!
Wasn’t impressed. The flavors didn’t pop. I’ll stick to my old spaghetti recipe.
