Garlic Wine Butter

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Mac n Cheese

    In a large pot, cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions. Drain and set aside. In the same pot, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon of flour and cook for about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk, cooking until thickened. Stir in the cheddar cheese and truffle oil until melted. Combine with the macaroni and top with grated parmesan cheese.

    Prepare the Grilled Asparagus

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill the asparagus for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and slightly charred.

  3. 3

    Make the Garlic Wine Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the white wine and lemon juice, simmering for another 2-3 minutes.

Cooking the Scallops

  1. 4

    Sear the Scallops
