Provided by under12parsecs

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 lb fettuccine pasta (or use a double batch of Homemade Noodles for 2)
1/2 cup sweet onion, finely diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 cup monterey jack cheese, grated
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 cup fresh spinach, torn
1 tomatoes, seeded and cut
1/2 cup smoked salmon, broken into little pieces

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
  • Add pasta and cook for 10 to 15 min or until al dente; drain.
  • Meanwhile melt the butter in a large skillet and add onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook over medium heat until onions are translucent. Reduce heat to low and add in milks, cheeses, and basil and stir over low heat until smooth and creamy about 10 to 15 minutes. Add smoked salmon and spinach and toss until heated through. Add cooked pasta and tomatoes and toss to combine. Add a bit of starchy pasta water if needed to make the sauce a good consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Tips

  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better your dish will taste. This is especially important for the salmon and the spinach.
  • Cook the salmon properly. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it carefully. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
  • Don't overcook the spinach. Spinach wilts quickly, so it's important to only cook it for a few minutes. Overcooked spinach will be slimy and unappetizing.
  • Use a good quality cream sauce. The cream sauce is what brings all the flavors of this dish together. Make sure to use a sauce that is rich and flavorful.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, can add a pop of color and flavor to your dish.

Conclusion

Spinach pasta with salmon and cream sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your salmon cooked rare or well-done, or your cream sauce thick or thin, this dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
