A delightful seafood pasta dish with a creamy cheese sauce, perfect for a comforting dinner.
Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Adding a bit of olive oil to the boiling water can prevent the pasta from sticking.
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
Ensure the onions are finely chopped for even cooking.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir well. Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form.
Warm the milk slightly before adding to prevent curdling.
Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Add the scallops and shrimp, cooking until the seafood is opaque.
Do not overcook the seafood to keep it tender.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded cheese until melted.
Grate the cheese finely for quicker melting.
Serve the pasta on plates and pour the seafood sauce over each portion. Enjoy your meal!
Garnish with chopped parsley or a sprinkle of lemon zest for added freshness.
