New England “Baked” Scallops with Creamy Linguine

Baked scallops are a classic New England dish that consists of succulent scallops topped with a rich, buttery cracker topping. Most recipes are easy to assemble, but can turn out dry if baked too long. To combat this issue we sous vide the scallops first to ensure they are cooked perfectly and then top them with cracker crumbs and broil until golden brown. The dish’s traditional cream sauce is cooked separately and brightened up with a little lemon juice and zest. Delicate nests of linguine are an elegant pairing, but cook very quickly, so we only set the starch for 3 minutes; if you choose a different pasta increase the cooking time to 10 minutes.

Please always check your food to ensure your food has been cooked to safe serving temperatures. Please see our guide here for recommended FDA Time & Temperatures.
