MOSCATO SPINACH LINGUINE PASTA

"SPINACH LINGUINE PASTA"
(Moscato Wine Butter Sauce)

Clarence Gardener

It all started with this shimmering light that broke through the aisle of the department store as if to invite me to a portal of some of the most elegant dishware from another world.

When I saw this artistic plate, I thought I was looking at the design of a well carved masterpiece that was part of a stained glass window from an ancient church. My thoughts ... is this a plate designed for a king or queen, and if so, what culinary presentation would give compliment to such a exquisite piece?

My challenge now was that I needed to come up with an idea ... and here it goes!

This dish that I created includes ingredients used to make a seafood pasta. The theme of this plate is centered around a large scallop on a bed of spinach linguine with jumbo lump crab and roasted almonds as a garnish. 

However, the flavor of the moscato wine butter sauce is what makes this dish pop.
