Ingredients

Ingredients

• Coarse salt and ground pepper 12 ounces spaghetti 4 tablespoons butter 4 leeks (about 1 pound), whites and tender green parts halved, thinly sliced, and washed well 1 garlic clove, minced 1 pound bay scallops, patted dry 1 teaspoon lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1/4 cup fresh tarragon leaves

Directions

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook spaghetti until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water; drain pasta, and return to pot.

Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-low. Add leeks and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until leeks are tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add leek mixture to pasta in pot (reserve skillet).

Heat 1 tablespoon butter in skillet over medium. Add scallops and lemon zest; cook, tossing, until scallops are cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to pot with pasta. Add tarragon, remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and lemon juice; toss, adding enough pasta water to create a thin sauce that coats pasta. Serve immediately.

  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 3 stars       03/19/2019   This was just okay. Kind of boring. I will not make it again. I followed the recipe exactly and could not get a silky sauce or incorporate the ingredients evenly in the pasta. I felt like it was missing something, like maybe something briny like olives or capers.

  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/07/2010   I am not fond of tarragon. What can I use as a substitute?
