Jay came for dinner tonight. Larry chose this recipe from one of my favorite cookbooks. It was good – Larry really liked it, and Jay and I thought it was just good. Jay didn’t really like the texture of the bay scallops. I used frozen peas instead of fresh, because fresh were nowhere to be found. I’m not a huge fan of pasta with seafood, but I liked the orzo, and the sauce was nice.
