    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil.

  2. 2

    Add fettuccine to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Preparing Seafood

  1. 3

    Sauté Seafood

    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add scallops and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Remove scallops from the skillet and set aside.
