Scallops in Cream Sauce With Spinach Fettuccine image

This sounds really good. From the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute. ETA: I finally made this and liked it. I made 2 appetizer servings, then discovered that my grandson doesn't like scallops, lol. I thought that the first serving I made was a tad bland. So took my grandson's portion and played with it a little bit. I added some gruyere cheese, a little fresh tarragon and a dash of nutmeg and really liked these additions.
