Description

This quick and easy fettuccine recipe is paired with a creamy vodka sauce with tomato and smoked salmon and served with caviar and Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic
1/4 pound smoked salmon, cut into thin strips
1 large tomato, diced
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons vodka
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 1/2 pounds dry fettuccine pasta
2 tablespoons black caviar
2/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions

1 Melt butter in a saucepan or wok over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add salmon and tomato and season with salt and pepper.
2 Increase heat to high and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Pour in vodka, reduce heat, and simmer, until liquid is reduced by half, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour in cream and simmer until liquid reduced by half again, 3 to 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
3 Meanwhile, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, add to sauce and toss to coat.
4 Serve sprinkled with caviar and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Garnish with chopped parsley.
