We both love salmon fettuccine, especially the one served in Italianese. So, we decided to try on our own see if it tastes the same ... if yes, then we do not have to fork out so much money for salmon fettuccine in Italianese. =D And the chef is not me, but Chef Ng! Off day for me....
All the ingredients prepared by the chef in the kitchen... and he actually told me he can't sleep because he kept on thinking on what to chop, what to prepare, how to cook. Haha.. so funny.
Chef Ng busy in action and chef's wife busy photoshooting... =D
Tah dah!!! Home cooked salmon spaghetti in carbonara sauce..... delicious!!!! If we have white wine, then it will be perfect... but no wine/alcohol for the moment. Hehe.
Here's the recipe for salmon spaghetti in carbonara sauce..
Ingredients:
Spaghetti
2cm slice of unsalted butter
1 big onion
Garlic
2 big tomatoes
Smoked salmon, coarsely chopped
1 cup heavy cream; you can substitute half & half for a lighter but just as tasty result
1 box of full cream milk
1 cup of parmesan cheese
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
parsley, Italian (optional)
Steps:
1) Put water to boil. Add some olive oil and salt in the water. Cook the spaghetti according to the instructions on the box and drain well.
2) In your favorite heavy pan, melt the butter and saute the chopped onion and garlic until it is soft and transparent but has not changed color. Add half the chopped smoked salmon, tomatoes and the cream.
3) Warm the mixture gently, blending thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Add in some milk. Pour little by little so that you can estimate the amount and do not over pour.
4) Stir thoroughly and add a little freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle on a pinch of parsley and Italian Herbs (optional) and serve at once. May not need salt, depending on the salmon. But usually we will add some.
That's all ... a healthy meal!
