2 tbsp. vegetable oil
2 Tbsp., plus 1/2 c. butter, divided
1/2 c. chicken broth
8 oz. bottle clam juice
1 lb. bay scallops

Top with remaining noodles, sauce and Parmesan.

Wonderful recipe, thank you, it is just like the Seafood Lasagna my friend Vern Latta cooked when I first visited Florida.. a delicate white sauce with the the clam juice.
