Salmon Pasta

This recipe is an old favorite of mine. Very simple, very tasty.

Ingredients:
Salmon
Dill
Pasta - Fettuccine works best
Flour
Skim Milk
Butter
Spinach (optional)
Parmesan Cheese

Poach Salmon.

Meanwhile, cook pasta. The trick with pasta these days is to make sure you get a full pound. Many companies are lowering box sizes down to 15-12 oz. Don't buy them. Also, for some really weird reason, i like my Fettuccine to stick together when it cooks for this dish. So i barely stirred it.

Meanwhile meanwhile, make sauce. Melt a bit of butter (about one tablespoon) in a pot, slowly add about two heaping spoonfuls of flour. Stir in milk till desired consistency. Add dill, spinach (i forgot to buy it), and a lot of cheese (1/4 cup?) I was almost out of cheese because it was covered in mold and i had to slice off most of it.

After Salmon is done, flake with fork - or, to save dishes, the flour spoon. Add to sauce. Add lots of pepper and salt.

Drain pasta well so the water does not make sauce runny. Add to sauce, mix well and eat.
















Tip: To add a little tang to cream sauces made with little butter & skim milk, one may add a tad of mustard. I didn't for this dish though.

  1. Sounds so good - I am making it this week. Hopefully my pasta will not stick together. New Year's resolution - fish at least once a week and less red meat.
