Parmesan Pasta with Scallops Marsala

I like Marsala wine and try to come up
with unique and creative recipes using it.
This scallop and pasta dish came out
cheesy, creamy and tastes very good.

Ingredients:
12 fresh bay scallops
1/2 pound angel hair pasta
1/2 cup pamesan cheese, freshly grated
2 tablespoons butter,melted
2 tablespoons onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
8 ounces double cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Freshly chopped parsley to garnish

Directions::
Bring a large pan of heavily salted water to the boil.
In a large frying pan melt the butter,
add the scallops and sear for
1-2 minutes on each side.
Remove from pan and keep warm.
Add the pasta to the boiling water
and cook for 4 minutes only.
Meanwhile, add onion and garlic
to the frying pan and saute for 2 minutes.
Add the cream, parmesan cheese and vanilla
to the onion mixture, mix well and cook
stirring constantly until slightly thickened.
Add the seared scallops to the cream sauce and stir to coat.
To serve - drain the pasta well, divide between 4 plates,
top each with 3 scallops, drizzle the sauce
over the top and sprinkle with
the freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately.
