Smoked Salmon Fettuccine Alfredo
Have you ever had a popular menu item at a restaurant a few times and somehow, it never really impressed you. Perhaps you even wondered if there was any way to make it taste better. Well, let me tell you that I have a list of several dishes that didn’t impress me until I decided to make some changes to them, substitute a few ingredients here, add more seasonings there and voilà… perfect!
Let’s see…. West Coast Smoked Salmon Chowder is among them as well as Tuna Casserole. The first one is when David and I went to a waterfront restaurant in Vancouver to celebrate our anniversary. It was good but not great. When it comes to Tuna Casserole, I never had a good one… It was so plain and blah until I did it my way. Now it’s one of our favorites. The same applies to our Stuffed Peppers; far from being boring!
There’s another dish on the list that I always found too rich and monotone, with nothing to excite my taste buds. One day, I decided to put a twist on it and I’m glad I did. Here’s my Smoked Salmon Fettuccine Alfredo! Creamy, smoky along with some lovely seasonings, this improved Italian dish is incredibly delicious! It still has the basics of the classic one but it is now more elevated in flavor. If you ask me if I would order the “traditional” dish over this Smoked Salmon Fettuccine Alfredo, my answer would be – “No grazie!”.
If you want to take this dish a notch higher (yes, it’s possible…), then I highly suggest you make your own pasta. Click on this link to make it from scratch… Homemade Pasta
This is not a complicated recipe. Within 30 minutes, you can enjoy a tastier version of the classic Italian dish. Don’t be surprised after making this scrumptious Smoked Salmon Fettuccine Alfredo, you might never go back to the old version.
Bon Appétit!
