Equipment

  • large pot
  • deep fry pan
  • colander

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz dried fettuccine
  • 3 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 small shallot (very finely minced)
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • black pepper (good grind)
  • 6-7 oz hot smoked salmon fillet (flaked)

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the fettuccine and cook until al dente.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a deep fry pan over medium high heat.
  • Add the shallots and sauté for 2 minutes or until tender.
  • Add the cream and bring to boil. Turn heat down to medium low and simmer for 3 minutes.
  • Remove the fry pan from the heat and stir through the Parmigiano Reggiano, salt and pepper until the sauce is smooth.
  • TAKE OUT ½ cup of pasta water PLUS scoop out an extra mug (extra, just in case). Then drain the pasta in a colander.
  • Transfer the pasta and ½ cup of reserved pasta water into the fry pan with the sauce. Add salmon. Toss very gently to coat the pasta in the sauce and allow the sauce to emulsify for 1 ½ - 2 minutes.
  • Remove from the stove and serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmigiano Reggiano and fresh parsley, if using.

Notes

Hot smoked salmon is already cooked and can be used in this dish. Normal cooked salmon can also be substituted if desired.
