Recipe: Smoked Salmon Fettuccine

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!
