Seared Scallop Pasta with White Wine Cream Sauce

There's no better excuse for a decadent menu than Sunday evening and no time more relaxing to cook than the weekend's tail end. The main attraction is ribbons of thin pasta shimmering in a cream-based white wine and garlic sauce. This is very easy to make and thickens like a dream. Scallops create the perfect high summer accompaniment, each seared with a golden outer crisp in a cast iron skillet. Fresh parmesan and Italian parsley seal the deal.
