Salmon Fettuccini

So tonight out of pure boredom, and a need to find any excuse not to pack up for the last few day in my apartment, I decided to make pasta. I probably shouldn't have because a friend and I had pizza and garlic rolls for lunch (from Galla's in the Perimeter area, you guys should try it) which was delish! Anywhooo, So here's the run down. Kroger usually has pretty great deals in their seafood department, sometimes alot cheaper than Wal-Mart or Publix, so I bought:


1 (4oz) salmon fillet
1 pkg of fettuccini noodles (I usually buy whole wheat pasta, but they were out :/)
1 bag of frozen spinach cutlets (I bought this frozen bc, I was a bit lazy. Fresh is always better, you get the true flavor)- Use only 1 cup of this
1 on the vine tomato, diced
Salt & Pepper (or whatever seasoning you favor the most)

For the sauce:
heavy cream (2.5 oz)
unsalted butter (2.5 Tbsp)
cooking wine (or any white wine you have on deck (3-4 Tbsp)

First:

 Turned on a large pot filled with water to allow it to simmer for the pasta. Once I noticed the cute little bubbles forming at the bottom I added about half the pack of noodles ( enough for just one person, and a little left over for lunch tomorrow)
allow to cook for about 10-12 min. When you notice the color starting to change (a little opaque) remove from heat, strain, and set aside.

While:
your pasta is simmering, remove salmon from package and place on cutting board. Use a boning knife or a fairly sharp kitchen knife and cut the fish into small cubes. Season cubes with lemon pepper seasoning or any seasoning will do. I chose lemon pepper because, personally it brings out the richness of the fish.
 In a large saute pan, pour about 1-2oz of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. When pan it nice and hot, add salmon and let it cook for about 7 minutes, or until you notice that each piece of fish has changed from a rich pink color to a dull pink. Remove from oil.

In that same oil (bc it already has a bit of seasoning in it):
Add your diced tomato and 1 cup of spinach add allow to cook for about 5 minutes. This can sit in a bowl or the same pan while you make your sauce.

For your sauce:
Combine all ingredients for your sauce and whisk consistently for about 5-7 minutes (your arms/wrists will get tired, so make sure to do your arm exercises the night before you make this,lol) If your sauce is too thin: Add about a Tablespoon or so of Heavy Cream. If your sauce is too thick: Add a Tablespoon of White Wine. Allow to simmer for 2 minutes after whisking.
Once your sauce has the desired consistency, add the tomato and spinach mixture. Be sure not to get alot of the olive oil drainage into your sauce.

*Be sure to add salt and pepper where ever you see fit*

To finish:

Add your pasta and salmon to sauce mixture. Stir together. Serve with parmesan or shredded mozzarella cheese. I topped mine off with a sprinkle of vegetarian mozzarella cheese crumbles. :) Yummers!
