Prep Time 10 minutes

NPR 2 minutes
Total Time 14 minutes
Course Main Course, Pasta
Cuisine American, Italian
Servings 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb box Farfalle pasta bow tie
  • cups Garlic broth ** by Better Than Bouillon
  • tsp salt
  • ½ tsp white pepper
  • 24 oz large frozen sea scallops do not thaw
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen broccoli florets optional
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan try to use the good stuff here

Instructions
 

  • Pour dry pasta into pot.
  • Make your garlic broth and pour over pasta. Sprinkle your salt and white pepper over the top of the pasta.
  • Place scallops evenly over the top. DO NOT STIR.
  • Close lid and cook for 5-6 min, or half the time on the box less 1 minutes. (You are going to have some time stirring and letting it sit later on)
  • When pot beeps, do a QR or Controlled Release if necessary. Stir.
  • Stir in broccoli florets and let sit for 1-2 min. Your broccoli will still be a bit crisp to the bite. If you like it more done than that, chop it smaller.
  • Now add in in Parmesan and heavy cream and stir again.
  • Check pasta for doneness. Let stand 1 more minute if necessary. Serve.

Notes

* If you don't have garlic broth, add 3/4 tsp garlic powder to chicken broth or water.
Using large frozen scallops will help them not overcook.

  1. Delicious flavor, turned out nicely. Scallops broke up when I was stirring broccoli/ cheese etc. If I don’t want that, I could remove the scallops before I stir, but I didn’t mind. Kids liked it.
