Creamy Seafood-Parmesan Pasta

I can't believe that we haven't had this in over 4 years. We used to eat it a lot, but the price of scallops and availability of even frozen ones got difficult once we moved.

We like. It is easy, and even I can make it. We used to have it with Caesar Salad, but they didn't have any at the grocery so we had with a spinach salad.

Creamy Seafood-Parmesan Pasta

6 oz uncooked medium egg noodles
8 oz sea scallops (we used bay scallops...the little ones)
Cooking Spray
1/2 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp
1 tsp Old Bay
2 garlic cloves or 2 tsp bottled minced garlic (D used 1 TBSP)
1/2 C fat-free half-and-half
2 TBSP of yogurt-based spread (used Country Crock)
1/2 C finely chopped green onions (about 2)
1/4 C grated Parmesan

Cook noodles according to package directions, omitting salt and fat.

Rinse scallops and pat dry with paper towels.

Place a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat until hot. Add scallops, shrimp, seasoning, and garlic; cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently, or until shrimp and scallops are done. Add half-and-half, spread and green onions. Remove from heat. Add noodles and cheese tossing to coat.
