Fettuccine with Smoked Salmon, Asparagus & Sun-Dried Tomatoes Recipe

I adore smoked salmon. This recipe is so amazingly adaptable, heavenly, and delicious as well. Also, the salmon adds a touch of class to any dish in which it shows up. Who could request more?

One of our most loved weeknight suppers at home is this basic smoked salmon and fettuccine recipe. In case you're using ready-made fettuccine, the whole recipe can be thrown together in the time it takes to boil the water and cook the pasta. Basic as it seems to be, this dish is exquisite to eat on its own or as a starter dish of a three-course meal.
