Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package medium seashell pasta
8 tablespoons butter, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 (10 ounce) package sliced fresh button mushrooms
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
½ teaspoon onion powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pound scallops, rinsed and patted dry
1 (8 ounce) container mascarpone cheese
¼ cup milk

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta; cook in boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 9 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
Meanwhile, melt 6 tablespoons butter with olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Mix in parsley and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and asparagus; season with onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until asparagus is tender, about 5 minutes depending on the thickness.
Place scallops in the pan with vegetables and cook briefly on each side until lightly browned and the center is cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from heat when scallops are just finished.
While scallops are cooking, combine mascarpone cheese, milk, and remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until sauce is warm and butter is completely melted and blended in.
Stir sauce and drained pasta into scallops-vegetable mixture. Mix until evenly combined and serve hot.

Editor's Note

Please note the differences in ingredient amounts and yield, as well as the use of cavatappi instead of shell pasta when using the magazine version of this recipe.
