Ingredients

• 1 pound spaghetti
• 1 pound sea scallops, each scallop cut in half in equal rounds
• 1 sweet onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, cut into pieces
• 1 (6-ounce) tub crumbled blue cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare spaghetti according to package directions.

Meanwhile, in large, lightly oiled skillet over medium-high heat, brown scallops until cooked through. Remove, tent with foil and set aside. Add onion and sauté until softened, adding a little water if necessary to prevent sticking.

In a separate skillet off heat, combine butter and crumbled blue cheese. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring until it becomes a smooth sauce.

Gently toss spaghetti and blue cheese sauce. Top with onion and scallops.
