I know it's a new combination of pasta and croutons, but it tasted too good. We usually see pasta topped with bread crumbs right, so I thought if we can use bread crumbs, why not use croutons. I also combined some ground turkey with Salmon too in this dish. Basically I wanted to use many ingredients in one dish, it's that simple. :-)
So try it and let me know, I bet you will like it.
Ingredients:
------------
1 pkg Fettucini pasta
2 cups Alfredo Sauce
1/2 lb ground Turkey
1 Salmon fillet
1/2 cup Croutons
1 bunch fresh Basil leaves
1 tsp Red Pepper flakes
Salt and Pepper to taste
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 pod garlic chopped
1 tsp Olive oil
Method:
---------
1. In a heavy bottom pasta pan add enough boil for pasta and when it comes to boil, add salt and fettucini pasta and cook it for about 7-8 mins or until al dente.
2. Drain the pasta in a strainer and run it under cold water, so that the pasta stops cooking further and keep it aside.
3. Cut the salmon fillet to lengthwise pieces.
4. In a wide sauce pan add olive oil and when it's hot add garlic and now add the ground turkey and brown it while cutting the big chunks with a wooden spoon for about 7-8 mins.
5. Now cover and cook for about 5 mins more in medium low flame.
6. Open the lid and add pasta and fettucini sauce and cook for about 2-3 mins until all the meat and the pasta is coated with the sauce.
7. Now add the salmon and cover and cook for about 2-3 mins and off the flame and let it stand with the lid for about 5 mins, so that the salmon will cook in the steam.
8. On a cutting board gently roll the basil leaves and cut across.
9. Carefully plate the fettucini on to plate without breaking the fish pieces and top it with grated Parmesan cheese, croutons and basil and serve it hot or warm.
