Instructions
-
Cook the Fettuccine: Begin by boiling a pot of water, then add the Fettuccine LaFonte. Cook until al dente, approximately 7 minutes, ensuring to add a pinch of salt and a drizzle of oil to prevent the pasta from sticking. Once done, drain the pasta and set aside.
-
-
Sauté Aromatics: While the pasta cooks, thinly slice the half onion and crush the garlic cloves. In a pan, heat the butter or margarine over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and crushed garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Cook the Salmon: Incorporate the diced salmon into the sautéed onion and garlic mixture. Stir gently to combine, allowing the salmon to cook through, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Prepare the Cream Sauce: Pour in the full cream milk and add the grated cheddar cheese. Stir the mixture continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce comes to a gentle simmer. If you have oregano, sprinkle some in for added flavor.
-
Combine the Ingredients: Gently fold in the drained Fettuccine into the sauce. Stir quickly to ensure the pasta is evenly coated without allowing the sauce to thicken too much; a little sauciness enhances the dish’s appeal.
-
Final Touches: Taste the dish and adjust seasoning with salt if necessary. Once everything is well combined and heated through, remove the pan from the heat.
-
Serve: Plate the creamy Fettuccine with Salmon while hot, garnishing with additional cheese or herbs if desired. Enjoy this delightful dish as a comforting meal that celebrates the rich flavors of creamy pasta and fresh salmon.
This Fettuccine with Salmon is sure to become a favorite, providing a wonderful blend of textures and flavors that can brighten any dining occasion.
