• Prep all of your ingredients and have them at ready, then start pasta. Cook the pasta approximately 8 minutes. If the pasta is done before prepping all the ingredients, add 3 cups cold water into pot to hold. (Water will still be hot, but will arrest cooking.) Drain when ready to use.
• In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. When the butter has melted, add the scallops, cook for 1 to 2 minutes and turn over. When scallops are just cooked, remove from heat and set aside, keeping them warm. Let the juices in pan reduce for 1 minute, then add the mushrooms and saute for 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic, red pepper flakes and black pepper. Toss to combine. Add in the reserved scallops and half of the truffle oil.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375. Toss the garlic cloves with the olive oil and 1 tsp salt and heat in oven 15 minutes. Remove the garlic, let cool, peel and slice. Saute the scallops in the extra virgin olive oil, 2 minutes per side. Remove the scallops and discard the oil. In the same pan, bring the chicken stock and wine to a boil and cook to reduce the liquid by half. Add the marjoram and whisk in the butter. Combine the scallops, the sauce and the garlic in a large bowl and then toss with the pasta Season in salt and pepper to taste. Divide between 6 individual plates.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place 6 (6-inch round) gratin dishes on a sheet pan.
• To make the topping, place the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (you can also use a hand mixer). With the mixer on low speed, add the garlic, shallot, prosciutto, parsley, lemon juice, Pernod, salt, and pepper and mix until combined. With the mixer still on low, add the olive oil slowly as though making mayonnaise, until combined. Fold the panko in with a rubber spatula and set aside.
• Preheat the broiler, if it's separate from your oven.
• Place 1 tablespoon of the wine in the bottom of each gratin dish. With a small sharp knife, remove the white muscle and membrane from the side of each scallop and discard. Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and distribute them among the 3 dishes. Spoon the garlic butter evenly over the top of the scallops. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the topping is golden and sizzling and the scallops are barely done. If you want the top crustier, place the dishes under the broiler for 2 minutes, until browned. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkling of chopped parsley and serve immediately with crusty French bread.

Steps:

• Pat dry each scallop and lay them on a tray. Sprinkle on some olive oil, coating scallops on all sides. Season the scallops with salt, black pepper, and lemon pepper, making sure that the seasoning covers all sides. Refrigerate until ready to cook.
• Grill for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place scallops in a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Cover and let rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Combine 5 tablespoons warm butter, lemon juice, and garlic in a bowl; whisk until combined. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• At the same time, remove scallops from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature, about 20 to 30 minutes.
• Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat, making sure it does not smoke. Brush scallops with garlic mixture and add to the pan. Cook until the bottoms begin to sear and turn golden, about 2 minutes. Flip scallops, brush with garlic mixture, and cook another 2 minutes. Remove scallops from the heat and let them continue to cook while they rest, off the heat, for 5 more minutes. Plate and serve.

Steps:

• Prepare and Bake the Acorn Squash 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 2 Cut the squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Place face-up on an oven safe baking dish such as a pie plate. 3 Melt 1/3 of the butter in a microwave (use the defrost setting). Tightly roll 2 medium to large sage leaves lengthwise and finely julienne. Add the julienne cut sage, brown sugar, Herbes de Provence, nutmeg for the squash, ground white pepper, and cayenne pepper to the melted butter. Baste the squash with the butter mixture and bake at 350 degrees until fork tender but NOT mushy, about 35 to 40 minutes. Do not rely solely on recommended cook times. The size and ripeness of the squash and individual oven calibration can significantly change coking times. See TIPS. 4 Allow the squash to cool completely and then carefully remove the fruit from the skin with a large serving spoon. Carefully dice the squash with a large chef's knife into 3/4 inch cubes. Set aside or refrigerate if preparing the squash in advance. Prepare the Pasta Sauce 1 Add 2/3 of the butter and olive oil to a large sauté or frying pan. Smash the garlic with a chef's knife to remove the skin (leave whole) and add to the butter-oil mixture. Sauté over medium heat until the garlic is golden brown (about 5 minutes). Add the vermouth. Cook until the volume is reduced by about 50%. Remove from heat. Julienne the remaining sage leaves as before and add to the butter mixture. Set aside. Prepare the Scallops 1 Dry the scallops thoroughly with paper towels. This prevents splatter, and a mess, when sautéing. 2 Place the cracker meal in a large plastic bag, add the scallops and shake vigorously. Remove the scallops to a plate and shake-off excess cracker meal. Set aside. This may have to be done in batches. Cook the Pasta 1 Bring 4 quarts of salted water to a boil in a large pot. When the water is vigorously boiling, drop the past and cook for 4 minutes if using the recommended pasta, otherwise follow the manufacturer's cooking recommendation. Drain the pasta and set aside. See TIPS. Sauté the Scallops 1 Add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil to a large frying or sauté pan over medium high heat. When the oil is hot (shimmering), quickly add the scallops without over-crowding. Sauté until lightly brown to golden brown and then turn until lightly brown on the other side (about 1.5 minutes per side). DO NOT over cook scallops. They should be rare and still translucent in the center. See recipe photo. Remember the scallops will continue to cook when removed from the pan. Remove the scallops to a room temperature plate and set aside. Finish and Assemble the Dish 1 Chop the parsley. 2 Re-heat the sauce over medium heat and add the squash. When hot add the drained pasta. Stir to warm and coat the pasta. Stir in the parsley and plate the pasta. Arrange the scallops over the pasta. Finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and grated parmesan if desired. Serve Servings: 4 Degree of Difficulty: Moderately difficult Oven Temperature: 350°F TIPS: Preparing and baking the squash ahead of time makes this dish much easier. Up to a day in advance is fine. The cooking time for the squash can be significantly reduced by microwaveing the raw squash on high for a few minutes before basting and baking. We strongly recommend using Cipriani Pappardelle. This pasta is extremely thin and very delicious. It's a bit hard to find. We found the best price is at The Fresh Market. See their website for locations. It can also be ordered from Fresh Market via the internet at http://www.freshmarket.com/online-market/detail.aspx?ID=160 ; or from Amazon.com, but the price is substantially higher. Cipriani Pappardelle comes in 250 gram boxes, 8.82 ounces. A suitable alternative pasta may be very thin egg noodles found in pasta section of most grocery stores. We recommend only diver scallops. The best we've ever found come from Costco. They are available weekends from their seafood kiosk or anytime frozen in 2 pound bags. They are day-boat scallops without any preservatives.
