I first made the Smoked Salmon Fettuccine in high school and it was a hit with my family. Since then, I am always getting requests from them to make it again. The recipe is great for dinner parties and is a unique twist on the classic Fettuccine Alfredo.
Ingredients:
- 1 pack smoked salmon
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 onion
- 4 garlic cloves
- 3 tbsp dill
- 1 tbsp parsley
- 500g of fettuccine
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 cup chicken stock
- Salt and pepper
Method:
Step 1: Heat the olive oil and butter in a pot until melted.
Step 2: Dice the onions, garlic and add to the pot with salt and pepper.
Step 3: When onions and garlic are cooked down and translucent, add the cream and stir.
Step 4: Pour the chicken stock into the pot and mix well. Make sure the sauce is just simmering and not boiling over.
Step 5: Cut the smoked salmon into small squares and add half into the pot, while stirring.
Step 6: Add the parmesan in batches while stirring to combine.
Step 7: Cook the fettucine in boiling water as per the package’s instructions and combine with sauce.
Step 8: Turn the heat off, add the rest of the smoked salmon, dill, parsley and mix.
Done!
