Ingredients
  

  • 2 C Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1 Tbsp Fresh Basil Chopped

Instructions
 

  • Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente.
  • Meanwhile, pour cream into a large skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until just about boiling. Reduce heat, add herbs, salt, pepper, onions, and parsley. Simmer 7-8 minutes, or until thickened.

Notes

If spicy food isn't your thing, start with half the amount of peppers. You can always add more... But don't regret putting in too many!
Bay scallops work best here, but you can use the larger sea scallops if you cut them in half.
