Preparation

Step 1

Prep
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Bring water to boil for pasta.
- Cut butter into pieces; place in small bowl to soften.
- Chop chives.

Steps
1. Cook and drain pasta following package instructions.
2. Preheat large sauté pan on medium 2-3 minutes. Place wine, scallops, cod, and shrimp in pan; bring to a simmer. Cook 2-3 minutes or until seafood is opaque and wine has reduced by about one-half.
3. Combine in large bowl: chives, cheese, soup, bisque, pasta, and shrimp mixture until blended; transfer to 2-quart baking dish.
4. Blend bread crumbs and seasoning into butter, using finger tips, until crumbly; top seafood mixture with crumbs. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden and bubbly. Serve.

**Can also add 1-2 lobster tails, cut into pieces, if desired
** I used "ruffles" pasta which worked out great
