How to Make Nif's Linguine With Scallops

  1. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a large pot.
  2. Add 1 chicken bouillon cube and 8 ounces of linguine. Cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  3. While pasta cooks, spritz a large skillet with olive oil spray and set over medium heat.
  4. Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms and 2 minced shallots to the skillet. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add 1 pound of sea scallops and cook for 2 minutes per side, or until opaque and cooked through. Do not overcook!
  6. Stir in 4 ounces of cream cheese and 1/4 cup of reserved pasta water. Cook until the cream cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
  7. Add the cooked linguine directly to the skillet; do not rinse.
  8. Toss to combine, adding more pasta water if a thinner sauce is desired.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
