Ingredients
Fettuccine with Artichokes and Smoked Salmon
- Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen Artichoke hearts
- 14 ozs whole wheat Fettuccine
- salt
- 8 ozs Smoked salmon
- 1 handful flat-leaf parsley
- 2 Tbsps butter
- 2 Tbsps olive oil

Thaw the artichokes and cut into wedges.
Cook the pasta in plenty of boiling salted water until al dente and allow to drain.
Cut the salmon into strips. Rinse the parsley, shake dry and chop.
Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet. Cook the artichokes, deglaze with the broth and simmer over medium heat until the liquid has evaporated. Stir in evaported milk and creme fraiche. Season with salt, pepper and lemon juice (salt lightly here, because of the salt in the smoked fish). Boil briefly.

Healthy, because
Artichokes owe their unmistakable, tangy aroma to the bitter substance cynarin. Cynarin helps to lower cholesterol levels, supports the liver in its detoxification work, and activates the flow of bile, while other artichoke elements are beneficial for the eyes. Salmon has protein and many beneficial fatty acids within it, making this a well rounded meal.
Even smarter
You can always substitute fettuccine with other pastas like brown rice pasta, chickpea pasta, or wholewheat pasta.
