How to Make Olive Garden Seafood Portofino Lower Fat

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
  2. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp and scallops; cook until pink and opaque, about 3-5 minutes per side.
  3. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Pour the cream mixture into the skillet with the seafood and vegetables. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Stir in the cooked pasta and reserved pasta water. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to coat the pasta evenly.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of fresh parsley (optional).
