I don't really measure for this recipe, feel free to adjust the ingredients. My family really likes capers, so I usually use more. Next time I make this I plan to add minced garlic with the shallots. Black olives would probably be good too. This makes about 4 servings.
- One box of whole wheat pasta
- 3 shallots, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- Half of the large pack of Coho salmon from Costco, about 1/4 lb maybe, chopped.
- A shot of vodka
- 2 cups pureed tomatoes
- 1/2 cup whipping cream or half and half, or even whole milk.
- salt, pepper
- 2 tbsp capers
- 1 tsp minced parsley
- Cook pasta as per directions and drain.
- While pasta is cooking, in a large pan (that will hold all your sauce and pasta) sautee shallots in butter until they soften.
- Add salmon and cook a minute or so more, stirring, until it lightens in color
- Carefully add vodka. It's a good idea to take it off the flame while you do this.
- Add pureed tomatoes and stir, cook for 2 minutes. If the sauce seems to runny, let it simmer for a few minutes until it's thicker.
- Add cream and stir, cook for 2 minutes.
- Add capers and parsley and salt and pepper. Stir, cook for a few minutes more.
- Add drained pasta and stir it up. Taste and add seasonings.
- Enjoy! Drizzle some olive oil on top of pasta on your individual plates for extra goodness.
