Cooking Tips

• Make sure to cook the spaghetti until al dente, as it will continue to cook slightly in the sauce.
• Be careful not to overcook the scallops, as they can become tough and rubbery.
• For a lighter version, you can use half-and-half or milk instead of heavy cream.
• Feel free to add some crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.
• Serve the dish with a side of garlic bread or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.

Storage and Serving

• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Reheat the leftovers in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of cream or milk to revive the sauce.
• Garnish with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
