• In a large frying pan or non-stick skillet, warm the heavy cream over medium heat. Once the cream is warmed (and has formed a skin over the top) add the butter and melt into the cream.
• Add the grated Parmesan and Romano cheeses (you can also use Parmesan cheese, or a Parmesan and Romano blend) stirring until the cheese is fully melted. Add the garlic powder, taste, and add salt and pepper if desired.
• Add the smoked salmon (flaked or cut into small pieces) into the sauce once the cheese is melted and simmer for 2 minutes, or until the alfredo sauce thickens slightly.
• Toss the pasta in the alfredo sauce, either in the skillet with the sauce, or add the sauce to the saucepan of pasta. Coat thoroughly and serve immediately.
• Portion out the smoked salmon fettuccine alfredo and garnish with more smoked salmon, fresh dill weed, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
