Instructions
- 1 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta; cook in boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 9 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
- 2 Meanwhile, melt 6 tablespoons butter with olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Mix in parsley and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and asparagus; season with onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until asparagus is tender, about 5 minutes depending on the thickness.
- 3 Place scallops in the pan with vegetables and cook briefly on each side until lightly browned and the center is cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from heat when scallops are just finished.
- 4 While scallops are cooking, combine mascarpone cheese, milk, and remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until sauce is warm and butter is completely melted and blended in.
- 5 Stir sauce and drained pasta into scallops-vegetable mixture. Mix until evenly combined and serve hot.
