Smoked Salmon Fettuccine

This recipe for Smoked Salmon Fettuccine is a family favourite. It is deceptively easy to prepare and despite the creamy nature of the sauce, does not contain any cream!

Ingredients

• 375g fettuccine, preferably whole-grain
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 1/2 red onion, minced
• 2 Tbsp flour
• 2. 5 cups milk
• 150g smoked salmon, chopped (I find it easier to chop from frozen)
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill (or 2 Tbsp dried)
• Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

1. Boil pasta until al dente
2. Sauté onion in butter in a large saucepan until translucent.
3. Add flour to onions and stir until coated.
4. Gradually add milk, a bit at a time, and whisk to avoid lumps.
5. Add smoked salmon and dill, stirring often.
6. Add pepper to taste
7. Toss fettuccine with sauce, reserving some to top.
8. Enjoy!
