Directions

  1. Heat olive oil and 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook and stir asparagus until tender and browned, about 10 minutes.

  2. Stir mushrooms into the skillet and cook and stir until they have given off their liquid, about 5 more minutes. Stir in tomatoes and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes, mix in juice of 1 lemon. Set the vegetables aside.

  3. Melt 1/2 cup butter in a separate large skillet over medium heat and cook and stir shrimp and scallops in butter until shrimp are bright pink and the seafood is slightly opaque, 3 to 5 minutes. Mix juice of 1 lemon into seafood, turn heat to low, and continue to cook seafood until fully opaque, 3 more minutes. Drain excess liquid if necessary, leaving 2 tablespoons of liquid in skillet.

  4. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and stir in 2 tablespoons butter, salt, and juice of half a lemon. Stir angel hair pasta into the boiling water and cook until pasta is tender but still slightly firm, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally during cooking, drain well and transfer to a large bowl.

  5. Drain liquid from asparagus mixture if needed, and stir vegetables into the pasta.

  6. Lightly toss vegetables and angel hair pasta with 1 package of Italian cheese blend, mix in the cooked shrimp and scallops.

  7. Mix remaining package of Italian cheese blend into pasta mixture and allow to stand until cheese melts, about 3 minutes, toss again and serve.
