Steps:

• For the roasted garlic: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Using a basting brush, coat the garlic with the olive oil, place on a baking sheet, cover with aluminum foil and roast until the garlic lightly browns and softens to the touch, about 1 1/2 hours. Let cool, then roughly cut and set aside.
• For the sauce: In a large saute pan (12- to 14-inch nonstick preferred) on medium-high heat, add the roasted garlic, butter and onions and saute until the onions are translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the heavy cream, wine, clams, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. (Do not walk away as cream has a tendency to boil over.) As the cream starts to boil, adjust the flame to a lower setting to prevent it from boiling over. Simmer the sauce until more than half of the clams have opened; The sauce will have reduced and thickened by almost half. Add the crabmeat, scallops and shrimp and simmer until the shrimp starts to curl up and the scallops start to swell, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Add the Romano, Parmesan and green onions. The sauce will immediately start to thicken. Simmer for just about 1 minute to incorporate the Romano and Parmesan cheeses. Remove from the flame and serve over your favorite pasta.

Steps:

• For the bechamel sauce: Melt the butter in a saucepan. Whisk in the flour and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Slowly whisk in the milk. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Season with salt and white pepper, then strain through a chinois and hold for later use.
• For the seafood alfredo pasta: Bring a large pot of water to a boil to reheat the cooked pasta. In a saute pan or small saucepan, heat the bechamel sauce to a simmer. Add the Parmesan and stir to melt the cheese. Add the crabmeat and toss to warm.
• Sprinkle the shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat a large saute pan over high heat. Add the grapeseed oil and then the shrimp to the pan. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, then flip the shrimp and finish cooking, another 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the shrimp, leaving the oil in the pan. Hold the shrimp for plating.
• Add the sliced garlic to the shrimp pan and saute until it just begins to brown around the edges. While the garlic is cooking reheat the pasta in the boiling water, about 1 minute. Strain the pasta, add it to the pan with the garlic and toss.
• Add the bechamel and crab to the pasta and toss. Add the lemon juice, Chicken stock and cream and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the egg yolks and toss to incorporate. Cook for 1 minute to help thicken the sauce. Add the shrimp and toss.
• Divide the pasta and shrimp evenly between serving plates and garnish with chopped chives.

Steps:

• Start the water for the fettuccine pasta. Cook as per package directions until just shy of al dente (it will be added to the sauce later and will continue to cook). If the pasta is done too early, drain and set aside while reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid just in case the sauce is too thick.
• As the water is starting for the pasta, combine the butter and cream in a large pot or a wide skillet with tall edges (like the one in my picture). Heat over medium until the butter is melted into the cream.
• Turn heat down to medium low. Add the nutmeg to the cream and butter mixture. Whisk to combine.
• Add the Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste (cheese is salty, so make sure you do not salt until after the Parmesan is added).
• Add the shrimp, scallops, and pasta to the sauce and toss to coat. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors. If the sauce is too thick, add a little pasta water at a time to loosen the sauce (or cream). If too thin, let it cook a little longer. This should be enough time for the small seafood to cook (see note).
• Remove from heat. Serve immediately.
