Recipe - Herb Pasta Sheets With Scallops In Madeira Cream Sauce (Mf)

One half Recipe egg pasta dough
1 pound Sea scallops
Flour for dredging
Salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoon Unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoon Olive oil
One fourth cup Minced shallots
One half cup Sercial Madeira
1 cup Heavy cream
2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Fresh lemon juice to taste
Sweet paprika to taste
Herb sprigs for garnish, if
desired

Transfer pasta dough to floured baking sheet and cover loosely with plastic
wrap.

Dredge scallops in flour, shaking off excess, and season with salt and
pepper. In skillet set over moderately high heat melt 1 tablespoon of the
butter with the oil and heat until hot. Add the scallops and saute until
golden and just firm. Transfer to a plate, add the shallots to the skillet
and cook 1 minute. Add the Madeira and reduce by half. Add the cream and
reduce until lightly thickened. Stir in mustard, lemon juice, paprika and
salt and pepper to taste.

In a saucepan of boiling salted water cook the pasta shapes until "al
dente", drain and toss with remaining butter.

Add scallops to sauce and simmer until heated through. Spoon scallop
mixture onto serving plates, mounding it in the center of the plate, and
drape the pasta shapes over. Garnish with the herb sprigs.
