Ingredients




1 pound dry linguine pasta
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley
1 cup chopped green onion
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 pound sea scallops, sliced horizontally
3/4 cup shredded swiss cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Preparation

1 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta for 9 minutes according to the package instruction. 2 Meanwhile, pour the cream into a large skillet. Cook over medium heat until it just starts to boil, stirring constantly. 3 Reduce heat to medium low, add basil, thyme, parsley, and green onion. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Gently stir and simmer for 8 minutes or until the sauce is slightly thickened. 4 Increase heat to medium, add shrimp and scallops, cook until the seafood turns from translucent to opaque, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. 5 Stir in swiss cheese and parmesan cheese until it's melted and blended well. 6 Drain the pasta, divide into 6 even portions and place into serving bowls. 7 Pour equal amount of the seafood sauce on the pasta in each serving bowl. Serve!
