1 lb. fettucini (green if available)
1 oz. (2 tbsp.) butter
Half of a sm. onion
5 oz. smoked salmon
7 fl. oz. heavy cream
Black pepper

Melt the butter and cook the finely chopped onion until it is soft but has not changed color. Add half the smoked salmon, roughly chopped and the cream. Warm gently, then blend or process together with the onion until smooth. Cut the rest of the salmon into thin strips, using kitchen scissors.

Cook the pasta, according to package directions carefully to avoid over cooking. Drain the pasta and turn into a serving bowl. Add the cream and salmon sauce. Stir thoroughly and add a little freshly ground black pepper. Gently stir in the salmon strips and serve at once.
