Creamy Parmesan Chicken and Scallop Pasta

Leave a comment

This Creamy Parmesan Chicken and Scallop Pasta is served in a creamy white sauce and is super simple to make and is sure to impress.  

I like to use penne pasta for this dish, however you could use fettuccine too. 

Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and enjoy!

You don’t have to wait for only a special occasion for this dish, if you have a seafood lover in your life they are sure to enjoy this anytime of the year. 

You will want to start by chopping your onion and then mincing your garlic, saute it in a pan and then placing on the side.

Next saute the chicken pieces, and scallops separately in a little butter then set aside.

Before placing everything back in the saucepan to merge together with some heavy cream, chopped yellow pepper, parsley, salt and pepper and fresh parmesan cheese.

Right before serving squeeze some lemon over top and serve hot directly from the pan.

Once you try this simple recipe, you will be hooked, just be careful to not overcook the scallops or it they will become rubbery. 

You are going to want to cook it on medium low for a 3 minutes on each side, then remove it immediately from the heat and set aside before tossing back for the last minute with everything else before serving!

 Serve in a bowl or on a large plate, this dish is creamy!

Note: You can also add spinach if you desire.

Garden Tomato Pie

Leave a comment

It’s that time of year, where our gardens are bursting with tomatoes. So why not make a tomato pie? I love tomatoes, don’t you? I also have a pre-made pie crust in the freezer, so I thought why not make this delicious pie and share it with my readers. You can make your pie crust of course, or just buy a pre-made one and have this on the dinner table in under 45 minutes. It’s great for breakfasts or dinner and you can add any kind of tomatoes you like. Looking for a more vegetarian type tomato pie, simply omit the eggs and add some sauté asparagus it will be just as good.  I hope you give it a try, I’d love to hear how you liked it in the comments below!!

What you will need:

To make the Garden Tomato Pie:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cheeses, sour cream, eggs, chopped green onion, mayonnaise, and whisk together till blended.
  2. Next, on cutting board slice garden tomatoes, pat dry with a paper towl to remove excess moisture
  3. Season generously with salt, pepper, thyme, basil.
  4. Pre-heat oven to 425F.
  5. Sprinkle a little flour on the pie shell, to ensure the shell.
  6. Then pour your cheese mixture into the pie shell and then top with you garden tomatoes, drizzle a little olive oil on top and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes until crust has completely browned and the tomatoes have roasted.
  8. Serve immediately, enjoy!

Note: You can pre-cook some bacon and crumble it over the pie if desired.
