Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh egg tagliatelle (500g) may use other pasta *see notes
- 8 oz. smoked salmon (250g) cut into pieces
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 1 shallot thinly sliced
- 4 Tablespoons vodka
- 1 pint heavy cream (500 ml)
- Salt and pepper q.b. quanto basta (to your taste)
- Fresh dill to serve on top
Instructions
- Cook your pasta al dente in well-salted boiling water.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet and add the shallot until it wilts and begins to change color.
- Add the salmon and drizzle with the lemon juice. Sauté the salmon over low heat.
- Deglaze the pan with the 4 Tablespoons vodka.
- Add heavy cream. Simmer until the cream has reduced to a saucy consistency and the salmon has imparted its wonderful flavor to the cream.
- Add your cooked fettuccine to the sauce and toss. Add a bit more cream if need be, making sure that the pasta still 'flows' rather loosely—fresh pasta tends to absorb its sauce quickly, and creamy ones especially quickly.
- Sprinkle the lemon zest on top.
- Serve your Smoked Salmon Fettuccine right away topped with chopped dill.
- No pasta should wait, but this one especially.
