Alfredo Sauce and Smoked Salmon

Question

My son gave me this recipe that we really enjoyed. You can add shrimp, scallops whatever. Fast and easy.

1 jar of Alfredo Sauce or 4 cheese sauce (your favorite)
1 package of peppered smoked salmon (In the stores it's a chunk not thin slices). I used left over salmon we BBQ. and added pepper to taste.
1 pkg. pasta your choice.

Cook your pasta.
Heat up Alfredo Sauce. Half way I broke up the salmon and added it to sauce. I also added some fresh spinach to mine that I had on hand.
Pour sauce over pasta and serve.

If you use shrimp or scallops my son usually grills or browns them in a pan first then adds them.

I haven't tried the short list version but really love this combination with the recipe below.

Perfect Marinara:
3 Tbsp olive oil
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
28 oz. Crushed tomatoes, then puree yourself
8 oz. tomato sauce
Fresh basil, 1 handful – torn
Healthy pinch of red pepper flakes
Kosher salt to taste
Sautee garlic with pepper flakes for about 6 minutes, until golden.
Add crushed tomatoes, torn basil and salt.
Simmer for 20 – 25 minutes to reduce.

Vodka Sauce:
4 shallots finely chopped
3 Tbsp butter
1 ½ cup heavy cream
½ cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
¼ cup Vodka
Healthy pinch of red pepper flakes
Kosher salt to taste

Sautee shallots in butter about 3 minutes and add the rest of the ingredients. Stir on medium heat until parmesan cheese is fully incorporated.
Mix both sauces together. Toss with cooked linguine noodles. There will be a fair amount of extra sauce leftover.

Smoked Salmon:
1/4 lbs smoked salmon per intended servings.
Add crumbled salmon to noodle and sauce dish. Garnish with parmesan cheese or herbed feta and some chopped cilantro per serving.

Thanks for the recipes Debbie and SD. These will work nicely at the next DOG we attend. We're always looking for something a little different.

That does sound interesting.  I wish I could get my wife to tolerate fish, I like it but she hates even the smell if I cook it myself.  Maybe I'll try the easy version sometime when camping alone.

Your recipe sound good Super Dave. I'll have to try that one. Mine was great for leftover salmon which we normally don't have. Thanks Deb

Debbie: I do something similar with imitation crab. I have added broccoli to it also.  Quick and easy. Dinner on the table in less than 20 minutes
