Fettuccine with salmon in creamy sauce
Description
The recipe won't take much time. To serve, place the pasta on a plate and pour the remaining sauce over the top. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Optionally, garnish the dish with fresh or dried basil and coarsely ground pepper. If you prefer garlic over onion, you can use several garlic cloves, chopped finely. Sauté them in oil with the fish, then remove from the pan before serving. Serve hot.
