Nif's Linguine With Scallops

I wanted to whip up some pasta for dinner tonight and this is what i came up with! I kept it low calorie and low fat but feel free to add some white wine or saute the veggies in butter or oil. If i wasn't watching what i am eating, i would probably do both! :) i used cream cheese to thicken up the sauce a bit and i really like the taste. Fyi - it counts as 8 ww points. Enjoy!!

Steps

In a pot , bring water to a boil.

Add chicken boullion and linguine and cook until al dente.

Reserve water.

Meanwhile , spritz a frying pan with olive oil and set over medium heat.

Add mushrooms and shallots and saute until mushrooms are softened , about 5 minutes.

Add scallops and cream cheese and 1 / 4 cup of pasta water.

The scallops only need to cook for 2 minutes or they become rubbery.

When pasta is finished cooking , add directly to the frying pan without rinsing.

Stir until combined.

Add more pasta water if you want more sauce.

Pour pasta onto a plate and top with parsley.
