Homemade pasta is one of the most satisfying meals to cook! Today is a special edition episode of Simply Elegant Home Cooking as Eric will be collaborating with his good friend Paulie from Paulie's Food Channel as they prepare a delicious seafood pasta with homemade fettuccine noodles! Paulie will show you how simple it is to make homemade pasta noodles which requires only three ingredients. Once the fettuccine noodles are prepared, Eric demonstrates a simple method of searing shrimp and scallops and using the same pan to create a delicious lemon, garlic, white wine, and butter sauce for the pasta noodles!

When cooking fresh pasta, be sure to use the highest quality eggs and flour. Since there are only three ingredients to the noodles, you want the quality of the ingredients to shine through. For the seafood, be sure to buy wild shrimp and wild, dry scallops. The dry scallops will sear up great in the pan and get a beautiful brown crust. And be sure not to over cook your seafood! Only 2-3 minutes per side for the scallops and 60 to 90 seconds per side for the shrimp. Any more and your seafood will be rubbery.

On the same topic, be sure not to over cook the pasta! Fresh pasta noodles cook in just a few minutes, a fraction of the time it takes for the boxed variety! After a quick cook in salted water, rinse but do not drain the pasta and finish it right in the sauce. Some of the starchy water will cling to the pasta and help to thicken up the sauce and cause the sauce to stick tot he pasta.
