"Fettuccine" (pasta) with salmon is a common dish in both Italy and Russia. They love it for its exquisite, sophisticated taste and ease of preparation. The main thing is to have good pasta made from durum and fillet. Those who like fatter fish can be advised to buy salmon or trout; if they are leaner, take chum salmon, pink salmon, sockeye salmon or coho salmon.

Today we will prepare a popular and delicate dish called “Fettuccine pasta” with salmon. It is prepared quite quickly and from simple ingredients, the maximum cooking time is 20 minutes. We will use long flat noodles - "Fettuccine", which is sold in any hypermarket.

It is with these noodles that salmon pasta turns out tender, juicy and aromatic. It cooks quickly and goes well with creamy sauce. It also contains a minimal amount of calories. If you wish, you can use regular spaghetti or others of your choice instead of noodles; in any variation, the dish turns out delicious and satisfying.

"Fettuccine pasta" with salmon in cream sauce

Required components:

Fettuccine noodles - 200 grams;

Heavy cream (about 300 grams);

Salmon, frozen, fresh or lightly salted - 300 grams;

Onion head;

Garlic (two cloves);

Cilantro, basil;

Salt pepper;

A pinch of oregano.

Pour cold water into a large saucepan (per 100 grams of pasta - a liter), add salt to taste and place on medium heat. Pour the pasta into very boiling water, stir for two minutes and leave to cook until smooth (about 10 minutes - see instructions on the package).

While our pasta is boiling, let's start with the fish. If you have it frozen, then you need to defrost it in advance. It is better to take lightly salted or fresh salmon, which will need to be cut into small slices.

Place butter in a frying pan, add chopped onions and fry until golden brown. Pour the cream over the onion and mix well. Next, add fish, pepper, salt, garlic and oregano to this creamy onion mixture and simmer over low heat for no more than five minutes.

Place the finished noodles in a deep plate, place the fish in sauce on top of it, and decorate the whole thing with sprigs of herbs - cilantro and basil. Pasta in cream sauce is completely ready to eat. It's better to eat it hot. Bon appetit!

Tips and tricks

Pasta can be cooked with tomato and sour cream sauces, and you can also add grated cheese. To thicken the sauce, add a tablespoon of flour (like bechamel).

To prevent pasta from overcooking, you need to cook it in plenty of water. To make pasta with salmon more piquant and with a bright taste, be sure to use various dry seasonings - oregano, basil, red pepper, etc. And don’t forget about fresh herbs, they also give the dish an original taste and make it healthier.

If you cook pasta only from high-quality pasta (hard varieties), you will never gain weight. A striking example of this is the slender Italians who eat it every day. Pair pasta with fresh vegetables and low-fat gravies. Instead of meat, take mushrooms or poultry.

How to cook pasta with salmon at home, step-by-step recipe with photos:

Step 1. Peel the bellies of salmon (which can be found in fish stores at a price 3-4 times cheaper than regular salmon) and cut into small cubes.

While we are preparing our salmon, we put in water for the pasta, which we will boil for 5-7 minutes until al dente, that is, the finished pasta should remain a little hard.

Step 2. In a frying pan greased with olive (or butter) oil, fry the salmon until it turns pink. This takes approximately 7 minutes.

During frying, the salmon does not brown like meat, but acquires a delicate pink hue, which indicates the degree of its preparation.

Step 3. Add herbs, salt, pepper and finely chopped garlic to the fried salmon if desired. Fry it all for another 5 minutes.

H Garlic will highlight the delicate taste of salmon and give it a touch of completeness.

Step 4. Without stopping frying the salmon, pour the cream from the pan in a thin stream and stir it.

Step 5. At this time, the pasta should have already been cooked, so put it on a plate greased with a clove of garlic (for flavor) and place the salmon in cream sauce on top.

Here's an idea for a romantic dinner with your significant other!

Heat a couple tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook, turning every couple of minutes, until the fish is cooked through. Depending on the thickness, this will take about 8-10 minutes. Remove salmon from pan and keep warm.

In the same pan, add finely chopped garlic and shallots. Cook over low heat until the onions are translucent, but do not brown them. Add fresh thyme and heat for a couple of minutes. Add wine and increase heat to medium. Cook until it is reduced by half.

At the same time, let the pasta cook according to the instructions on the package. For my taste, Fettuccine is most suitable here, but you can take another type. Add milk, cream, grated Parmesan to the pan and season with salt and pepper to taste. Increase heat and cook, whisking occasionally, until cheese is melted.

Add the remaining dill and green peas. Cook for a couple more minutes and then turn off the heat. Frozen peas must first be thawed and excess water drained. Drain the water from the finished pasta, reserving half a cup. If the sauce seems too thick, dilute it with this water.

Mix the sauce with the pasta and serve with the salmon pieces on top. The paste turns out very tender and creamy. Each serving contains approximately 4-5 pieces of fish. Bon appetit! The recipe is adapted from the English-language blog Tatyana's everyday food. Many thanks to the author.

I suggest you prepare a quick, tasty and satisfying dinner of pasta with salmon in a creamy sauce. Restaurants usually serve spaghetti in sauce, but usually the spaghetti ends up separate and the sauce is on its own. Therefore, I advise you to take fusilli, penne, rigatoni, bucatini, in general, this type of pasta (pasta) on which the sauce can “catch.” For me it's bucatini.

It is better to use 15% or 20% cream for the sauce. And don’t be afraid to give this dish to children: the alcohol completely evaporates during heat treatment.

To prepare pasta with salmon in creamy sauce, prepare the ingredients according to the list.

This is what bucatini looks like. This is the same spaghetti, only in the form of tubes. The name comes from the Italian "Buko", which means "Hole".

So, let's begin. Cut the leek (only the white part) into rings and fry in olive oil.

Add cream and wine.

Cut the fish into cubes and add to the pan. Stir and simmer over low heat for 5-7 minutes until the fish is cooked. Don't forget to stir periodically. During this time the sauce will thicken a little.

At the same time, boil the bucatini in salted water.

The sauce is ready. Salt and pepper to taste.

In the meantime, the pasta is ready. We put it in a saucepan, but do not pour out the water in which the bucatini was boiled. We will need it if the sauce seems thick. Just add it to the sauce until you reach your desired consistency.

Mix carefully. The sauce will get into the holes and it will be very tasty!!! :-)

All! Pasta with salmon in creamy sauce is ready!

We serve it right away. Bon appetit!
