Servings: persons

1 head of garlic, top cut off, drizzled with olive oil and baked, covered for 1 hour in 375 oven.
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 lb shrimp, shelled and cleaned
1 lb sea scallops, halved
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
6 Tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup heavy cream
juice of half a lemon
1 1/2 cups finely shredded romano cheese
1 pound penne pasta, cooked and drained.

1
When garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze cloves into a small bowl. Mash lightly with a fork until pasty.
2
Saute shrimp and scallops in olive oil in large skillet over medium heat, until cooked through, about 3 minutes.
3
Remove shellfish from pan and set aside in medium bowl, covered.
4
Deglaze pan with chicken broth and reduce until slightly pasty. Lower heat while adding butter so it stays thick when melted. Add heavy cream, lemon juice, red pepper and mashed garlic. Increase heat and stir until ingredients incorporate. Do not allow to boil. Add remaining cheese and stir about 1 minute more until sauce is thick and smooth.
5
Return shellfish and any juice to pan and cook through for about 1 minute. Pour mixture over cooked penne and toss with remaining cheese.
