I've got leftover penne pasta with alfredo sauce. Frozen raw shrimp and bay scallops.

would it be stupid to sauté onion, celery, bacon; then add in seafood to cook for just a sec, then add in pasta alfredo with some shrimp stock I made?

The pasta was cooked very al dente and is good reheated.

Then I'd pull it when seafood is cooked.

Would have a side of crusty garlic/butter bread to dip in broth.

Not really chowder, but figure it might have that consistency. If too runny could add cheese or bread to thicken.

I'm no cook, so this is why I ask.

Thanks!

Sounds great! Add some garlic.

Go for it! The worst that could happen is that it doesn't come out so good. I think it may turn out fine.

I wouldn't go the broth route with Alfredo sauce, but I wouldn't hesitate to add the seafood to the pasta dish to make it a Seafood Alfredo.

I'd use very little broth but would add some white wine, cream and parmesan.

I think it sounds tasty. Let us know how it comes out.

^^ This.
But I hope I'm wrong, let us know how it turns out.

So, what did you do and how did it turn out?

Didn't get home from work till 930 last night so I didn't eat and daughter ate earlier with friends.

I hope to try it tonight as kids go to their mom's this weekend.

You always add a can of tuna fish

for that extra fresh from the sea flavor.

As others have stated only add enough liquid to keep it moist and the Alfredo sauce from drying out. How much will depend on the amount of water in the seafood you are adding. Might need to add a little butter or heavy cream to it as it might start to separate a little. Going low and slow with the heat to bring conglomeration up to temp.

Yum.
