SMOKED SALMON FETTUCCINE WITH HEALTHY DILL ALFREDO SAUCE



Smoked Salmon Fettuccine With Healthy Dill Alfredo Sauce image

"Healthy alfredo sauce" is probably an oxymoron, but this is the way I always make a creamy sauce for pasta. It's obviously not an authentic alfredo, but we like it. I created this dish to use up some smoked salmon, and we totally enjoyed it. While I think you can adjust most of the ingredients here to your taste, I wouldn't mess with the smoked salmon or the capers, since they really are the dominant flavors.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon flour
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dill weed, dried
3/4 cup green bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1 teaspoon olive oil
6 ounces smoked salmon, cut into bite-size pieces
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 tablespoon capers, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, snipped
4 ounces fettuccine, uncooked (I used Florentine, which is 1/2 spinach and 1/2 egg pasta)
lemon pepper, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
shredded parmesan cheese, to taste

Steps:

  • Boil and prepare fettuccine as directed on package instructions; drain and set aside.
  • (Before draining, reserve about 1/4 cup of pasta cooking water, which you can use later to thin the sauce or moisten the vegetables as you cook them, if necessary).
  • Place cottage cheese, 1 Tbsp parmesan cheese,flour, black pepper, lemon juice, garlic, and dill weed in a food processor bowl and pulse until smooth; set aside.
  • In a large nonstick pan or wok, heat oil over medium heat and saute green pepper and onion for about 3 minutes.
  • Turn heat down to low or low-medium and allow the pan to cool enough that the next ingredients won't burn.
  • Add tomatoes, capers, salmon, and sauce to the pan; stir and cook for 1-2 minutes or until heated through.
  • Add pasta and parsley and continue to cook on low for 1-2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and serve, topping individual servings with pepper, lemon pepper, and parmesan to taste.

DAIKON 'FETTUCCINE' WITH CYNDI'S VEGAN ALFREDO SAUCE



Daikon 'fettuccine' With Cyndi's Vegan Alfredo Sauce image

I got this recipe from "The Vegetarian Low-Carb Diet" book by Rose Elliott. Description from book: Cyndi's Vegan Alfredo Sauce, which I've adapted just slightly by using almonds instead of cashews, is wonderful: really creamy and delicious, and packed with protein. It's great with vegetable 'pasta' and I also like it with Roasted Vegetables and Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon. You can use it whenever you want to add some extra protein to a meal. If you can get daikon (a long, white radish), it makes lovely 'fettuccine' and is very low in carbs - but you can also use courgettes, turnips or kohlrabi, for varying, slightly higher carb counts.

Categories     Soy/Tofu

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

18 ounces daikon radishes
olive oil
9 ounces firm tofu, drained and broken into rough pieces
1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
2 ounces sliced almonds
4 sprigs basil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 1/2-5 fluid ounces water
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Start with the sauce. Put the tofu and garlic into a food processor and whiz until smooth. Then add the almonds and basil and whiz again until as smooth as possible.
  • Add the lemon juice and enough of the water - or more - to got a creamy consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper, transfer to a saucepan and set aside.
  • Bring half a saucepan of water to the boil. Meanwhile, cut the daikon into long, thin ribbons by running a swivel potato down the length.
  • Put the ribbons into the boiling water, bring back to the boil and cook for about 4 minutes, or until al dente. Drain immediately and return to the pan.
  • While the daikon is cooking, gently reheat the sauce.
  • To serve, either add the sauce to the daikon and mix well, or toss, the daikon in a little olive oil, serve out onto plates and pour the creamy sauce over the top.

ZUCCHINI FETTUCCINE WITH CREAMY WHITE BEAN "ALFREDO" SAUCE



Zucchini Fettuccine with Creamy White Bean

A revelation! The rich and creamy sauce - made with only white beans, garlic, almond milk, a drizzle of olive oil plus salt and pepper - perfectly coats tender-to-the-bite zucchini ribbons. Only 5 ingredients and 15 minutes for this hearty and healthy gluten-free and vegan dinner. Score!

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 15-ounce can cannellini beans (white kidney beans), drained and rinsed
2 medium cloves garlic (peeled)
3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more to taste)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (plus more to taste)
1 1/2 pounds zucchini (spiralized (I use the ribbons blade on my spiralizer))
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (divided)
Fresh minced parsley and/or fresh basil cut into ribbons
Extra drizzle of olive oil

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: Add the drained beans, garlic, almond milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pitcher of a blender (high-speed blender is best). Puree, blending for about a minute until completely smooth. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired. You may also want to add more garlic if your garlic is mild and/or you reallllly love garlic.
  • Make and cook the zucchini pasta: Using a spiralizer, cut the zucchini into ribbons. Set a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt. When hot, add the zucchini. Saute, stirring occasionally, until tender and reduced in size a bit, 2-3 minutes.
  • Add sauce! Pour the sauce over the top. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 2 more minutes.
  • Top with herbs and a drizzle of olive oil if desired. Serve.

Tips:

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Pre-grated cheese often contains additives that can affect the taste and texture of your sauce.
  • Don't overcook the sauce. Alfredo sauce is best when it is creamy and slightly loose. If you cook it for too long, it will become thick and gloopy.
  • Add the pasta to the sauce, not the other way around. This will help to prevent the sauce from becoming too thick.
  • Use a large skillet or saucepan to make the sauce. This will give the sauce plenty of room to simmer and prevent it from splattering.
  • Serve the pasta immediately. Alfredo sauce is best when it is fresh and hot.

Conclusion:

Fettuccine Alfredo is a classic Italian dish that is loved by people all over the world. It is a simple dish to make, but it is important to use fresh, high-quality ingredients. By following these tips, you can make a delicious Fettuccine Alfredo sauce that will impress your family and friends.
