I loved this dish. The woody tones of the mushrooms and the truffle oil were great with the scallops. This dish hit all of the taste buds.

Thank goodness I did all of the prep work ahead of time. Didn't have the arugula so I used baby spinach cut into large sliver/threads. The recipe says to reduce the liquid after taking out the scallops - there was no liquid - I added more virgin olive oil to saute the mushrooms and spices. AND I undercooked the linguini I used, so I added a half cup of pasta water when I was tossing everything together. Think the next time I make this, I'll add some marinaded spicy shrimp. Also, the next time I'll grate the cheese so it will melt into the dish. Could also add some half and half to make in more creamy - there's always next time.

Last nite a friend was bringing over a bottle of Silver Oak to share. With such a fine wine, I searcher online for a scallop recipe worthy.I came across this recipe, & had all the ingredients, except mushrooms, & arugula.My husband was out running errands, so I called, & had him pick them up.He called on his way home, complaining about the $25.00 it just cost.[ I just laughed, as he never does the grocery store ] I followed the recipe very closely, with a few minor changes.He brought home dried chanterelle mushrooms, so I soaked them, & saved the broth.I also cooked the mushrooms much longer, about 15 min. adding the broth in the end.I also, blanched the arugula, for a couple of seconds , & used bowtie pasta.I feel the truffle oil is the secret ingredient! I also used more cheeze, shaving it a bit chunkier. My husband, & friend, went nuts!!! My husband actually apologized for complaining about the cost of the ingredients, saying it was worth every penny.We can't wait to eat the leftovers tonite!! My next dinner party, this is what I am serving!!

Great recipe. I see a lot of complaints of the price of ingredients. You know, life is short. As individuals, we will spend money on what we value. I see people in line at the store spending $60 on a carton of cigarettes. We are not all rich, but I think we can spend a little money on some of the small things in life that can make it a little more special. It is still less expensive to purchase these ingredients vs. going out. Plus, going the extra mile and a little splurge here and there only helps to create good memories and feel really proud of what we are putting on the table. This is a great recipe...buy the right ingredients and it will be fantastic...+ it will taste as it was intended.

I followed the recipe with just a few minor changes. I didn't have truffle oil so I used olive oil. I LOVE mushrooms, so I used more than the recipe called for. I also tossed in some parsley along with the parmesean cheese. Very good. Will definitely make again!

This is a great tasting recipe. However I made some changes due to budget. No truffle oil, (olive oil instead more garlic & mushrooms and added toasted pine nuts. Next time I will splurge for the Truffle oil ($18.95/4oz @ Henrys and mix spinach with the arugula for flavor variation. I feel the toasted pine nuts added a needed crunch. Garlic croutons may also work. I may also try it with shrimp instead of scallops or use both. I think linguine will work well to!

We really enjoyed this dish, but between the scallops, truffle oil, "speciality" "shrooms, and pappardelle, it's not for the budget-conscious. The only pappardelle pasta I found at my store was $5.09 for 8.8 oz.! -- that's over $10 just for the pasta... truffle oil was $20+ per bottle; fortunately, I got the scallops on special, and cutting them in half helped them go farther... For us, the psata was disproportionate to the other items in the dish. However, the flavors in the dish are excellent! Also, the arugula was a bit much for our family.

I will make this dish again, but things I will try differently next time: (1 much less pasta (maybe 8-12 oz max, (2perhaps use a broad egg noodle instead of pappardelle (if I can't find a cheaper one, 3 oilve oil instead of truffle oil, (4 a mix of arugula and spinach, and (4 perhaps a mix of baby 'bella and button 'shrooms.

This was the most delicious dinner I have every made. Did a few subsitiutions, used whole wheat pasta noodles, button mushroom and no truffle oil. I will made this again and again especially for company. Thanks Guy

Cant believe it no truffle oil so i used bacon and made my own pasta. Didnt find all the mushrooms but i used what i had and it was still unbelievable. Thanks so much for a great idea that even my 19 month old granddaughter will eat!
