Chervil, a delicate herb with a slight taste of pepper and licorice, adds delicious flavor to this creamy dish. Fresh or dried tarragon, which has a more aromatic licorice flavor, makes a good substitute.
1/4 cup water or chicken broth
1 cup fresh or frozen asparagus spears, cut and thawed
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/2 pound bay or sea scallops
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon chopped fresh chervil or 1/4 teaspoon dried chervil leaves
2/3 cup chicken broth
3/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese (3 ounces)
1 tablespoon dry sherry or chicken broth
2 cups hot cooked fettuccini pasta or spinach fettuccine
1. Heat water to boiling in 1 1/2-quart saucepan. Add asparagus. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender; drain.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in same saucepan over medium-high heat until melted. Cook scallops in butter 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until scallops are white. Remove scallops from saucepan. Drain liquid.
3. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon butter in same saucepan until melted. Stir in flour and chervil. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and bubbly; remove from heat. Stir in broth. Heat to boiling,
stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute.
