Scallop dish reviewMarch 08, 2009By Michelle.gee
"We really enjoyed this dish. I put the scallops over a bed of spiral pasta. I did modify the dish slightly. I added a little less flour (only 2 tbsp.) and a little more water (about 1/4 to 1/2 cup). My husband said that he would definitely like to have this dish again."
