I made this tonight, served it over brown rice and a side of roasted veggies. DH raved about it!


1.5 T olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated lf parm cheese
1 (10.75 ounce) can chicken broth
8 large sea scallops
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Saute garlic and onions in olive oil until translucent. Transfer to small bowl. Pat scallops dry, and sear in very hot pan for 2 min on each side (mine needed another two minutes total cuz they were huge).

Remove scallops from pan, and return oil/garlic/onion mixture. Add can of chicken broth and parm cheese. Boil until sauce reduces and thickens. Return scallops to mixture, and sprinkle with parsley. Cook another few minutes, and serve

YUM! I counted two points for the parm cheese, because there were soooo much sauce left. I'm never sure how to figure that...any help would be appreciated.

OK, so I was just cleaning up and I measured how much sauce I threw out. 8 'scoops'. DH used about 2 or 3 on his stuff, and I used 2. Therefore, there were 12 servings of sauce per se.

1/2 c. of lf parm cheese is 8 T.

1 T. of lf parm (mine, at least) is 1 pt. Meaning the sauce had 8 points.

I ate 1/6 of the sauce, or about 1.5 points.

OK, I feel better now...it's not perfectly scientific, but 2 pts. certainly covers what I ate. :)

DH begged me to make this again tonight! Now he's asking for Core food!

I cut back on the parm this time and added a little cornstarch in it's place...reduces the points.

Had it with bulgur and asparagus! YUM!

OMG...I made this tonight and it was AWESOME!! I found soy parm...so it was 100% core. I served it over ww pasta with green beans on the side. YUM. Great recipe! I think I will use this sauce as my new cream sauce...next time I think I'll try it with chicken.
