Pasta with Smoked Salmon and Dill
Description
"Pasta with Smoked Salmon and Dill" blends fresh fettuccine noodles with a luxurious cream sauce made from butter, white wine (dry Vermouth), and heavy cream. The sauce begins by softening minced shallots in butter, then incorporating the wine and cream until slightly thickened. Diced smoked salmon is added last to preserve its smoky flavor without overcooking.
The smoked salmon provides a distinctive, gentle smokiness that complements the rich cream sauce and tender pasta. Fresh dill sprinkles over the finished dish lend a herbaceous freshness that balances the richness. The pasta is tossed while hot to absorb the sauce fully.
This recipe serves four as a full meal or six to eight as an appetizer, with a rich profile suitable for a special occasion or a comforting meal at home.
Ingredients
- 12 oz fresh fettuccine
- 4 oz smoked salmon diced
- 2 shallot minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons white wine I always keep a bottle of good quality Vermouth on hand to use in a pinch, dry
- 2 cups heavy cream
- dill chopped, fresh
- salt to taste
Instructions
- While the pasta is cooking, saute the shallots in butter over a medium heat, until soft and translucent.
- Add the Vermouth to the pan and cook a minute or two.
