Ingredients for 4 people

• 400g fresh pasta (tagliatelle or fettuccine)
• 12 fresh scallops
• 300g fresh porcini mushrooms
• 1 green bell pepper
• 1 red bell pepper
• 200ml cooking cream
• 100ml white wine
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 small onion
• 2 tablespoons of Puerto de Oriente pasta seasoning
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Fresh parsley
• Salt and white pepper

Step-by-step preparation

The aromatic sofrito

We start by preparing the soul of our dish: the sofrito. Cut the green and red peppers into fine julienne, along with the onion and finely chopped garlic. In a large pan, heat olive oil and sauté these ingredients over medium heat until they are tender and aromatic. This sofrito will be the base that brings Mediterranean color and flavor to our pasta.

The protagonists from sea and land

While the sofrito cooks slowly, we clean the scallops removing the coral if desired, and cut the porcini into thick slices. We sear the scallops quickly in a very hot pan with a drop of oil, just 1 minute on each side to maintain their tender texture. We sauté the porcini separately until they are golden and have released their water.

The magic of white sauce

Add the white wine to the sofrito and let it reduce by half. Incorporate the cream and our special secret: the Puerto de Oriente pasta seasoning, which provides that perfect blend of Mediterranean herbs and marine spices that enhances both sea and land flavors. Let the sauce thicken slightly.

The perfect moment

Cook the pasta in plenty of salted water until al dente. Drain it, reserving some of the cooking water. Add the pasta to the pan with the sauce, incorporate the scallops and porcini, and mix gently. If we need more creaminess, add some of the reserved pasta water.

The final touch

Serve immediately on preheated plates, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and an extra pinch of our Puerto de Oriente seasoning. The color contrast between the green peppers, golden porcini, and pearlescent white scallops creates a dish as beautiful as it is delicious.

Chef's tips

The key to success lies in not overcooking the scallops and using fresh seasonal porcini. Our Puerto de Oriente pasta seasoning, with its balanced blend of Mediterranean spices, enhances natural flavors without masking them, creating that perfect harmony between sea and mountain that characterizes the best Spanish cuisine.
