This was our 50th valentines day together. I never have made a
big to do about valentines day; when I was growing up it was a holiday mostly
for kids. She knows she is my sweetheart! I usually buy her some candy and try
to fix her a good meal. I was at the grocery today and meant to buy her some
candy but forgot. I told her my supper was her valemtines gift!
I had some nice sea scallops thawed out and would have some
spaghetti with some sauce she got me for a Christmas present. She got me 4 jars
of different Ilventos sauce; it is a restaurant in N.J. The sauce is made in
small batches, hand canned and labled. I wanted to use their Arrabbiata sauce,
said it was their spiciest. I had her taste it; if it was too spicy I had a jar
of their marinara sauce I could use. She said it was good. Their sauce is
pretty darn good of the three I have had.
I had made brown butter I wanted to fry the scallops in and
spaghetti for the pasta. I baked a take home and bake baguette for some bread
and butter.
When my pasta was about done I had a skillet heated to med.
high with 3 Tbs. of brown butter. I did 4 scallops for the wife about 3 minutes
per side and served her. I kept the pasta warm In the oven and did 4 scallops
for our daughter and added some capers at the end. After I served her I made
mine up with some capers too. I think next time I would just add the capers to
the plate to get more of their sour flavor. The scallops were served with some
of the butter spooned over.
That was a pretty tasty meal and we all loved it. The Ilventos
sauce was good. Their arrabbiata was the favorite I have had and I would love
to eat at their restaurant too.
