Yes, silly name! I ate at a little Italian restaurant in the Bellagio Hotel on one of my MANY trips to Vegas. It was love at first bite! I begged and begged the waiter to get me the recipe. He even brought the chef out. The chef wrote down the ingredients on a napkin but would not give me amounts nor preparation instructions. I tweaked and tweaked and this is what I came up with. Funny thing is...I went back to that little restaurant after I came up with this version - ordered theirs again - and mine blew it out of the water! Hope you enjoy as well. It's delicious!

This was awesome. I made it w/ extra garlic but followed the recipe other than that. I almost feel like the time it says it takes to make is too long and i'm not a fast cook! This was super tasty and so easy to make.

Made this tonight and it is super!! Husband thoroughly enjoyed and I found it a nice change of pace from heavy tomato sauces. Will be making again and putting it my cookbook file. Thanks for sharing..it is a definite keeper.

Heavenly! We all, especially my husband went crazy over this! I used 1 full lb of baby scallops and I did use the heavy cream (hey, it's only 1/4 cup). By reading the recipe, it sounds kind of "fiddly" to make, but it's quite easy. I'll be making this again..... soon! Thanx for sharing.

This is a great recipe. It's big on flavor yet takes little effort to make. I did use a full pound of bay scallops and just added a little extra tomato sauce/heavy cream/half & half. I loved the garlic flavor. I served this with a salad and some crusty bread to make a great dinner. I'm going to try this again using a different type of red wine.
