Spring pasta

Scallop Pappardelle with Lemon Shallot Tarragon Sauce

April 24, 2019 by Tamara Giebel Leave a Comment

I love this time in Spring where the herbs are fresh and plentiful. They can take a simple dish and add a certain elegance. Tarragon has always been my favorite herb to pair with seafood. It’s fresh, yet it’s sweet with a slight taste of anise. Paired with seared sea scallops in a lemon shallot sauce, it’s the perfect Spring garden meal for your next weeknight gathering.
