Fettuccine with Lemon Sauce and Smoked Salmon

Some days call for a good plate of pasta. These fettuccine are coated in a creamy lemon sauce with Parmesan and topped with smoked salmon just before serving.

Smoked salmon goes on at the end

This recipe uses 200 g smoked salmon for two servings. Arrange it over the hot pasta rather than frying it. The sauce uses 130 g Cremefine with 7% fat, 20 g Parmesan and 20 ml lemon juice.

Keep the lemon sauce smooth

Soften the onion gently in butter while the pasta cooks. Stir the Parmesan into the warm sauce, then take the pan off the heat before gradually adding the lemon juice. Add a little reserved pasta water if the sauce becomes too thick.

Kitchen tip

Taste before adding salt: Parmesan and smoked salmon already contribute plenty of seasoning.
