How to Make Fettuccine With Smoked Salmon Goat Cheese Leeks And Zucchini

  1. Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 2 medium leeks (white and light green parts only), thinly sliced, and sauté until golden and tender, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  3. Add 1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced, and sauté until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add 1 cup half-and-half and 4 ounces crumbled goat cheese. Stir until the goat cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  5. Remove the sauce from heat and season with salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper.
  6. Meanwhile, cook 8 ounces fettuccine in a large pot of rapidly boiling salted water until the pasta is al dente (about 8-10 minutes).
  7. Drain the fettuccine, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
  8. Return the drained fettuccine to the pot. Add the sauce and toss to coat. Add a little pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
  9. Transfer the fettuccine to a large serving bowl.
  10. Top with 4 ounces of thinly sliced smoked salmon and serve immediately.
