the farmers market. My copy of the recipe is from an old Food and Wine and slightly different. It's not on their web site, but I found this one on line and used it, substituting mace for nutmeg and used tagliatelle both as in the Food and Wine version. I used a Sauvignon Blanc.

This will be my go to recipe for scallops and pasta. It's soooo good.

Goosecross Cellars Recipe for Sauvignon Blanc

Sea Scallops and Leeks with Chive Noodles

8 oz. medium egg noodles

6 tablespoons unsalted butter

3 small leeks, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced

½ cup Goosecross Viognier

1 ½ pounds large sea scallops, washed extremely well

Salt & ground white pepper

¼ cup heavy cream

Juice from half a lemon

Pinch of ground nutmeg

¼ cup snipped chives

1 tablespoon parsley, minced

Cook the egg noodles in a large pot of boiling, salted water, stirring often, until al dente. Drain.

Meanwhile, in a large, deep skillet over low heat, melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Add the leeks and cook, stirring, until tender, about 8 minutes. Add the ginger and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes. Pour in the wine and bring to a simmer.

Season the scallops with salt & pepper and add them to the skillet. Cover and cook over low heat for 2 minutes. Turn the scallops, cover and simmer until just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer the scallops to a plate and keep warm.

Add the cream, lemon juice, and nutmeg to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Add the noodles and the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and toss to coat. Season with salt & pepper. Add the scallops and 3 tablespoons of the chives and toss again. Mound the noodles on the plate, top with scallops, then sprinkle with remaining chives and parsley.
