Ingredients
- 4 ounces dry Fettuccine pasta
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 garlic clove peeled and minced
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 1 teaspoon capers
- 5 ounces cooked salmon
Instructions
- In a large pot of water, add a bit of kosher salt to the water and cook the pasta per package instructions. Drain pasta and reserve about 1 cup of pasta water for making the cream sauce. Do not rinse the pasta.
- Over medium heat melt the butter in a Dutch oven or heavy skillet. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir with a wooden spoon to avoid burning.
- Stir in the heavy cream, chicken broth, and lemon juice or lemon zest and stir to combine and cook over medium-low heat until the sauce is warm, but not boiling.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese and flour. Toss until the cheese is coated with the flour.
- Stir in the cheese mixture to the sauce and continue cooking over medium-low. Continue stirring to mix and melt the cheese. As the cheese melts the sauce will begin to thicken.
- Add the cooked salmon and capers and stir until mixed.
- Stir in the fettuccine, mix to coat, and serve warm.
